In this era full of electronic technology, many electronic products such as laptop, tablets, televisions and other are abandoned or discarded every day for various reasons. As a result, every country produces tens of thousands of e-waste products every year. If electronic products are not cleaned or disposed of in time, they will lead to adverse human health effects and country environmental pollution because electronic products do not decompose easily. If these electronics are thrown away in landfills, for example, not only will the soil quality deteriorate, but it will take thousands of years to decompose. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle e-waste or make new products. Reusing the precious metals and plastics in old cell phones instead of mining for brand new materials can save the energy equivalent to power up to 24,000 U.S. homes for a year, according to estimates by the Environmental Protection Agency. This will not only help the country solve the problem of e-waste accumulation, but also help protect the environment from pollution or damage. Therefore, making sure that e-waste does not accumulate and turning it into various environment-friendly products is one of the ways to solve the problem of e-waste accumulation. Therefore, this article will talk about how to use electronic waste to make some handmade artworks, movie setting and even practical objects.
