Mining E-Waste: A No-Brainer, so Why Aren't We Doing More of It?

A fascinating BBC News piece produced by #Science Correspondent Victoria Gill calling for #mining e-waste, rather than mining the earth.

As the article points out, we’re running out of raw materials given the exponential increases in #technology consumption. There’s great volatility in #supplychains. And, with less than 20% of the two million tonnes p.a. of e-#waste collected and recycled there is a huge opportunity in mining e-waste.

The global imperative for the #circulareconomy is clear. What are we waiting for?
