Question

State whether true or false:
Recycling is the only solution for the treatment of e-wastes.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Irreparable computers and other electronic goods are known as electronic wastes (e-wastes). E-wastes are buried in landfills or incinerated. Over half of the e-wastes generated in the developed world are exported to developing countries, mainly to China, India and Pakistan, where metals like copper, iron, silicon, nickel and gold are recovered during the recycling process. Eventually recycling is the only solution for the treatment of e-wastes, provided it is carried out in an eco-friendly manner.
