What to do with electronic waste in Latin-America?

Around 50 million tons of e-waste are discarded each year worldwide. And only 5% of the total is recycled. The regional average reaches around 7 kg per person, per year

Have you ever imagined having gold in your possession and throwing it away? Well, this happens more than we think. For example, with those electrical or electronic devices that stopped working or that we no longer use. These artifacts are generally made of plastics and metals, such as aluminum, copper, and also the famous gold.

However, as we live in an era of consumption and disposal, when we talk about waste from these devices, known as WEEE[1], instead of looking for a new use or recycling it, we throw it away.

Clearly, both the famous planned obsolescence and the latest model fever do not help. And the ranking proposed by the World Observatory of Electronic Waste[2] estimates that what is discarded the most are cell phones, hard drives, cpus[3], disused monitors, modems, printers, cables and televisions.

And this can be dangerous. The composition of the artifacts[4] reaches 72% recyclable materials, 25% reusable materials and 3% hazardous waste (cathode ray tubes, integrated circuit boards, refrigeration gases, PCBs). "Its accumulation affects human health through exposure to toxic elements such as lead[5]," says a study by the entity.

This also describes "adverse health effects [6], ranging from birth problems, neurological development disorders, learning disabilities, DNA damage, cardiovascular and respiratory problems, skin diseases, among others and soil contamination and of the water and the air”.

For its part, the International Labour Organization (ILO) [7] states that they constitute the fastest growing waste stream in the world. And that they require special treatment for having dangerous elements. Their complexity in recycling and their cost generate an urgent need for an adequate regulatory framework since "they constitute an important problem for the environment and the health of the population."[8]

World ranking

According to the Eco House organisation[9], around 50 million tons of electronic waste are discarded each year worldwide. Among the countries most affected by electronic waste that receive more than they emit are: Ethiopia, Ghana[10], India, Singapore and Malaysia. The ILO reveals that the countries that generate the most WEEE are Brazil (35%), Mexico (20%), Colombia (8%) and Argentina (7%).

However, if the generation of WEEE is analysed in relative terms to the population of the countries, the largest producers are Chile (9.9 kg/inhab) and Uruguay (9.5 kg/inhab). "These levels are moderate even when compared to countries like the United States or Italy –22 and 17.8 kg/inhabitant/year, respectively."

Other data comes from the report Technology for climate action in Latin America, by the GSMA Association and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), published in June 2018[11] . There, Uruguay is registered as the country with the highest generation of electronic waste per person, with an average of 11 kg per person per year.

And the country with the lowest generation per person is Nicaragua, with an average of two kg of electronic waste. "The regional average reached around seven kg per person per year, close to the world average (estimated at six), but considerably lower than that of Europe (16 kg)," the document details. “These figures in Latin America possibly respond to the practice of reusing electronics. In the region, reused devices are often given away or sold, increasing their useful life."

Other life

The issue is that although we believe that they no longer make sense in our day to day, that does not mean that their useful life has ended. On the contrary, not only are there many ventures and projects that continue to use it, but by recycling them we are doing good for the planet[12].

The World Observatory for Electronic Waste[13]  suggests that only 5% of the total are recovered or recycled. In general, 50% of unused cell phones are stored in homes and institutions due to lack of knowledge about what to do with them. What can we do from our place?[14]

Acquire electrical and electronic products that prioritize the recycling of certain parts.

Try to extend the useful life of our devices to the maximum

Avoid changing them if they still work or fixing them, while you can

And what we discard, it is advisable to bring them closer to ventures, foundations or programs that receive them to renovate or recycle them. You have to inquire in each region.

What is possible to recycle?[15]

Computers, notebooks, monitors, keyboards, mice

Decoders, modems.

Printers.

Telephone lines, cell phones.

Faxes, stereos, VCRs, DVDs and televisions, among others.

Where can I take my electronic waste? There are various initiatives in the different countries of South-America. These are some:

Argentina. Electronic waste and art

In the City of Buenos Aires, there is a place where electronic waste becomes art. Nothing is wasted. This is Esquinazo Recicla[16], a civil association that recycles electronic waste. They receive from a headset to a refrigerator. And the most wonderful thing is that the plates of LED televisions or CPUs can end up being from a Mona Lisa to a Darth Vader.

“We carry out a chain of favours. Of the equipment we recovered. For example, we donate recovered computers to social spaces,” Mariano Moreyra, founder of Esquinazo Recicla, tells América Futura.

Other places to bring Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment closer in Buenos Aires are the CABA Green Points[17], the company Qué Reciclo,[18] Gea Sustentable Fundación[19], San Isidro[20] or the Conectar Program in Ituzaingó[21], where used computers are repaired to be donated to families with members with ASD[22].

Colombia

Colombia, according to the organization Manos Verdes[23], produces 130,000 tons of electronic waste per year. “It is the fourth country with the highest production on the continent, but the first in management, disposal and recycling. This is thanks to the fact that, since 2013, the Law 1672 on Waste Management of Electrical and Electronic Equipment has been in force. This urges the companies that sell these devices to manage their recycling and provide the consumer with spaces for their collection”.

It is one of the few countries in the region with a National Policy for the comprehensive management of this waste that defines the roadmap until the year 2032. Although each country outlines its public policies, in general they are based on some international treaties and conventions. such as the Montreal Protocol[24], the Basel[25] and Stockholm[26] Conventions, and the Minamata Convention[27].

The United Nations Development Program, supported by the World Environment Fund, implemented in Colombia the project called Reduction of unintentional releases of POPs and mercury from hospital waste management, WEEE, metal scrap processing and biomass burning in 2017. As of today, there are initiatives that work in the country are RAEE Colombia SAS[28] and Ekosolv[29].

Chili

The trans-Andes nation is another of the countries that has legislation that frames WEEE. This is Law 20,920 of Extended Producer Responsibility (REP). There are some private initiatives such as Recycla[30], which recycles electronics. And Fundación Chile[31], which launched the #Renchúfate campaign[32], which works with the school community and municipalities, providing information[33]  for the correct disposal of these devices.

For its part, the company Samsung launched the Recycle and Save campaign, to remove and recover all kinds of household appliances in Chile. According to the company, "each appliance will go to Degraf, a company[34] in which its components will be separated according to their composition: plastics, metals or glass".

Ecuador

In Ecuador, there is Vertmonde[35], an initiative that seeks an "Ecuador free of electronic waste with technical recycling of e-waste and circular electronics".

It is estimated that this kind of waste is the one that will increase the most in the future due to technological advances. For this reason, every time we stop using a cell phone, a computer or even a refrigerator, what is worth gold is knowing its correct disposition in order to promote the circular economy and a better future for our planet.

What is the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive? | Definition from TechTarget

What is the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive? The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is a legislative act that the European Union adopted to address the growing amounts of e-waste that come from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) at the end of its life. The directive aims to improve the collection, treatment and recycling processes employed…

[mariacallous]

The phone or computer you’re reading this on may not be long for this world. Maybe you’ll drop it in water, or your dog will make a chew toy of it, or it’ll reach obsolescence. If you can’t repair it and have to discard it, the device will become e-waste, joining an alarmingly large mountain of defunct TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, cameras, routers, electric toothbrushes, headphones. This is “electrical and electronic equipment,” aka EEE—anything with a plug or battery. It’s increasingly out of control.

As economies develop and the consumerist lifestyle spreads around the world, e-waste has turned into a full-blown environmental crisis. People living in high-income countries own, on average, 109 EEE devices per capita, while those in low-income nations have just four. A new UN report finds that in 2022, humanity churned out 137 billion pounds of e-waste—more than 17 pounds for every person on Earth—and recycled less than a quarter of it.

That also represents about $62 billion worth of recoverable materials, like iron, copper, and gold, hitting e-waste landfills each year. At this pace, e-waste will grow by 33 percent by 2030, while the recycling rate could decline to 20 percent. (You can see this growth in the graph below: purple is EEE on the market, black is e-waste, and green is what gets recycled.)

“What was really alarming to me is that the speed at which this is growing is much quicker than the speed that e-waste is properly collected and recycled,” says Kees Baldé, a senior scientific specialist at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research and lead author of the report. “We just consume way too much, and we dispose of things way too quickly. We buy things we may not even need, because it's just very cheap. And also these products are not designed to be repaired.”

Humanity has to quickly bump up those recycling rates, the report stresses. In the first pie chart below, you can see the significant amount of metals we could be saving, mostly iron (chemical symbol Fe, in light gray), along with aluminum (Al, in dark gray), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni). Other EEE metals include zinc, tin, and antimony. Overall, the report found that in 2022, generated e-waste contained 68 billion pounds of metal.

E-waste is a complex thing to break down: A washing machine is made of totally different components than a TV. And even for product categories, not only do different brands use different manufacturing processes, but even different models within those brands vary significantly. A new washing machine has way more sensors and other electronics than one built 30 years ago.

Complicating matters even further, e-waste can contain hazardous materials, like cobalt, flame retardants, and lead. The report found that each year, improperly processed e-waste releases more than 125,000 pounds of mercury alone, imperiling the health of humans and other animals. “Electronic waste is an extremely complex waste stream,” says Vanessa Gray, head of the Environment and Emergency Telecommunications Division at the UN’s International Telecommunication Union and an author of the report. “You have a lot of value in electronic waste, but you also have a lot of toxic materials that are dangerous to the environment.”

That makes recycling e-waste a dangerous occupation. In low- and middle-income countries, informal e-waste recyclers might go door-to-door collecting the stuff. To extract valuable metals, they melt down components without proper safety equipment, poisoning themselves and the environment. The new report notes that in total, 7.3 billion pounds of e-waste is shipped uncontrolled globally, meaning its ultimate management is unknown and likely not done in an environmentally friendly way. Of that, high-income countries shipped 1.8 billion pounds to low- and middle-income countries in 2022, swamping them with dangerous materials.

High-income countries have some of this informal recycling, but they also have formal facilities where e-waste is sorted and safely broken down. Europe, for example, has fairly high formal e-waste recycling rates, at about 43 percent. But globally, recycling is happening nowhere near enough to keep up with the year-over-year growth of the waste. Instead of properly mining EEE for metals, humanity keeps mining more ore out of the ground.

Still, the report found that even the small amount of e-waste that currently gets recycled avoided the mining of 2 trillion pounds of ore for virgin metal in 2022. (It takes a lot of ore to produce a little bit of metal.) The more metals we can recycle from e-waste, the less mining we’ll need to support the proliferation of gadgets. That would in turn avoid the greenhouse gases from such mining operations, plus losses of biodiversity.

The complexity of e-waste, though, makes it expensive to process. As the chart above shows, even an ambitious scenario of a formal e-waste collection rate in 2030 is 44 percent. “There is no business case for companies to just collect e-waste and to make a profit out of this in a sustainable manner,” says Baldé. “They can only survive if there is legislation in place which is also compensating them.”

The report notes that 81 countries have e-waste policies on the books, and of those, 67 have provisions regarding extended producer responsibility, or EPR. This involves fees paid by manufacturers of EEE that would go toward e-waste management.

Of course, people could also stop throwing so many devices away in the first place, something right-to-repair advocates have spent years fighting for. Batteries, for instance, lose capacity after a certain number of charge cycles. If a phone can’t hold a charge all day anymore, customers should be able to swap in a new battery. “Manufacturers shouldn't be able to put artificial limitations on that ability,” says Elizabeth Chamberlain, director of sustainability at iFixit, which provides repair guides and tools. That includes limiting access to parts and documentation. “Repair is a harm-reduction strategy. It's not the be-all-end-all solution, but it's one of many things we need to do as a global society to slow down the rate at which we're demanding things of the planet.”

At the core of the e-waste crisis is the demand: A growing human population needs phones to communicate and fridges to keep food safe and heat pumps to stay comfortable indoors. So first and foremost we need high-quality products that don’t immediately break down, but also the right to repair when they do. And what absolutely can’t be fixed needs to move through a safe, robust e-waste recycling system. “We are consuming so much,” says Baldé, “we cannot really recycle our way out of the problem.”

Why I decided to publish fanfiction "on demand"

A lot of noise going on in AO3 among my readers about my decision not to keep uploading content into AO3 unless there are readers asking for it, effectively publishing "on demand". Basically I keep writing (try to stop me) and I have for years, consistently, daily, but I no longer upload fanfics online, unless they're very requested, with very few exceptions. And I have also removed some fanfics from the online world. Even if some readers get pretty nasty about it all.

It's all for the same reasons:

Environmental impact:

1. Data centres, which host much of the online content, account for approximately 1-2% of global electricity usage, consuming an estimated 200-250 TWh of electricity per year. 2. According to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, the carbon footprint of the internet is estimated to be around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

3. The production of electronic devices used in the digital infrastructure, such as servers, routers, and smartphones, generates about 50 million tons of e-waste annually, with only 20% being recycled properly. 4. The lifespan of some data centre equipment can be as short as 3-5 years, leading to a rapid turnover and accumulation of e-waste.

5. Data centres are estimated to consume approximately 200 million cubic meters of water per year globally, equivalent to the water usage of a small city. Some studies suggest that the water footprint of the internet could be as high as 15 litres per gigabyte of data transferred.

2. Time wasting: For me, writing is something I love doing. I absolutely love it, and I do it relentlessly, day after day, full stories. It took time to upload each story into the website, as you have to select the right chapter, copy, paste, add all warnings, add all necessary notes, fix any formatting issues, and so on, one chapter at a time. It's sometimes taken me over an hour to upload all of my stories, sometimes longer. But it was worth it when I saw the glee in the readers. But in the last few years, it isn't so pleasant. I am now a grown up adult with a whole life of my own, which makes it harder to find the hour/s to upload content.

3. Lack of response/engagement: And I go through all that just for what? nasty comments, or complete silence. It feels like nobody's reading, and so logically, I think, well if nobody's reading that's fine, time's change, I'm not hurt nor offended, but if nobody reads then uploading fanfics into the internet is an effective waste of my time that perhaps I could afford in the 2010s, but not any more. I've got far too many things to do. And since I'm still going to write the story and love that, I don't feel any need to post it, because I don't get any compensation from posting it.

Sometimes I even get grief for whatever I post, so what's the point?

Enhancing thermoelectricity with guided impurity position control

Thermoelectric materials, substances that convert temperature difference into electricity, find a multitude of applications involving the conversion of waste heat into useful electrical energy. However, they often need to rely on heavy rare earth elements for efficient thermoelectric conversion.

This, unfortunately, makes them expensive and environmentally hazardous. In recent years, conjugated polymer-based material has received attention as an environmentally benign alternative to the conventional rare earth metal-based thermoelectric materials.

Owing to their high charge carrier mobility in the amorphous state, IDT-containing conductive polymers have the potential to reduce thermal conductivity while keeping their electronic conductivity intact. Unfortunately, these polymers suffer from low electronic conductivity, limiting our ability to synthesize high-performance thermoelectric materials from IDT-based polymers.

A team of researchers led by Prof. Sukwon Hong Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have now found a solution to the problem. Equipped with their understanding of plausible reasons for the observed low conductivity, the team designed a novel strategy for developing an IDT-based polymer with improved thermoelectric performance based on dopant (impurity) position controlling within an acetal-functionalized IDT (IDTa) polymer. Their study was made available in Chemistry of Materials.

Environmentally friendly artist pleadge

As artists, we have the unique ability to capture the beauty of the world around us, and it is our responsibility to ensure that we are doing our part to protect and preserve our environment. Embracing sustainability not only benefits the planet but also enables us to build a stronger and more ethical business. In this blog post, I pledge to be an environmentally friendly artist business owner and share some actionable steps that we can all take to reduce our ecological footprint.

Use eco-friendly materials: One of the simplest ways to become more environmentally conscious is to transition to using eco-friendly art supplies. Look for products that are made from recycled or sustainably sourced materials, such as paints, papers, and canvases. Additionally, opt for water-based paints that emit fewer harmful chemicals and reduce air pollution.

Reduce waste: Artistic inspiration can sometimes lead to excessive consumption. However, being mindful of waste can make a significant difference. When possible, try to reuse or repurpose materials, such as old canvases or paintbrushes. Use scrap papers or upcycled cardboard for sketches or preliminary work. By finding creative solutions for waste reduction, we can actively contribute to minimizing our environmental impact.

Opt for sustainable packaging: Packaging materials, such as bubble wrap and Styrofoam, are harmful to the environment. Transitioning to sustainable packaging alternatives, like biodegradable and recyclable options, is an essential step in reducing waste. Additionally, consider using eco-friendly shipping options that offset carbon emissions.

Conserve energy: Operating our art studios and workspaces efficiently helps conserve energy and reduce our carbon footprint. Take advantage of natural light as much as possible and use energy-efficient lighting, such as LED bulbs. Turn off equipment and electronics when not in use and invest in energy-efficient appliances to minimize electricity consumption. Conserving energy not only helps the environment but also reduces your utility bills.

Offset carbon emissions: Despite our best intentions, it is challenging to completely eliminate our carbon emissions. One way to minimize our impact is by purchasing carbon offset credits. These credits fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ultimately balancing out our own emissions. Supporting such initiatives allows us to take responsibility for our carbon footprint and support a greener future.

As artists, we have a unique platform to bring awareness to the environmental issues that our planet faces. By taking the pledge to become an environmentally friendly artist business owner, we can inspire others to join us on this transformative journey. Let's embrace sustainability, adopt eco-friendly practices throughout our artistic process, and play our part in creating a greener future, one masterpiece at a time.

Solar Charge/Photovoltaic item supoort? super moves? evolution?

With "Solar Charge", most of the evolutions would boil down to the user learning how to be more efficient with their energy. Things like letting them take in more sunlight at a time, holding it for longer periods, and needing less sunlight to use the electricity. One of the bigger jumps would be the user having better control over the electricity they could make, though not increasing its power as much. Things like channeling it through their finger tips to strike multiple people at once, charging it up into a ball to charge or overload something without touching it, or lighting up their body to greater extents to blind someone. As for super moves, it would come down to different flavors of blasting people with electricity. Things like shocking multiple people at a time, releasing a powerful lighting bolt at a single enemy, unleashing it all in the form of an area of effect attack, some kind of large pulse to knock out electronics, or again, blinding people with their lights to leave them out.

As for any kind of costume, there really isn't much the user could have since they need to have sunlight touching their body. Perhaps if they wore something tight and light enough to absorb it through the layers, preferably black to better absorb sunlight. Now, there is a lot of potential in support equipment. One of the big parts of the Quirk is the user charging up objects with electricity. Maybe they could have a tool to better handle and focus their electricity, able to shortcut their way to control discharge. However, I think that there could be a better option. They could have a set of whip-like tools that resemble wires. Not only could this let them charge their electricity through it to attack people with less of their charge wasted, but safely spread out their charge to other electronics. They could have smaller wires across their body they could attach to multiple devices, such as powering various tools in a disaster situation like lights. Maybe the user could specialize as a recuse hero and get a truck full of electric equipment that would be good in a disaster zone and act as a living generator for it all.

My Gamer Aesthetic

I really can’t see myself ever getting sparkly LEDs or pleather accessories etc for my gaming or work spaces.

The speakers are a bit end-of-their-life, maybe. They’re from 2002. A cat terrorist destroyed their little legs, which I superglued back into shape again and again, until they just now can’t stay up anymore, because they’ve been shattered into too many pieces. I hate throwing away things that still technically work, but these 20-year-old little fellas have also lost their ability to make sounds with reasonable reliability. I’m getting recycled speakers this weekend though, and these old ones are headed for Finnish Electricity and Electronics recycling cycle next week (if you’re in Finland, check out SER-kierrätys.) Electronics contain a lot of precious metals that are dug up from earth, and our planet has finite resources, so it’s important to get all the materials back into production cycles. Here’s a quote from Finnish recycling website (on the Finnish version of this page they say they can recycle up to 99 % of the parts of electric and electronic waste.)

What happens to the collected devices?

It is important to deliver the waste electrical and electronic equipment to recycling, so that they do not end up burdening the environment!

The collected devices are primarily processed in Finland. In recycling, raw materials and other materials are released from old appliances to be used in industry. These materials are used in the manufacture of new products.

Dangerous and harmful materials are also collected from old appliances to be processed separately. This way, the harmful agents do not end up to the environment. Some of the undamaged devices returned to the recycling find their way to reuse after inspection.

The tea cup and the little table with the controllers are from a second hand shop as well, as is the little table cloth on it. I rarely need to buy anything new these days, Helsinki area second hand stores and reuse centres are piled high with perfectly good household items (and indeed I’m going on a crusade to find a new controller for my PS3. The old controller was destroyed by a cat.)

The small table cloth is fairly new, I got it on an unexpected adventure to Hyvinkää where I went on a fun day trip (go see the town museum if you can, there’s a really fun art exhibition there right now!) My inner textile nerd can tell with some authority that the style of decoration on the cloth is an old fashioned technique called “bottom sewing” in Finnish (can’t really say what it would be in English) and it’s usually combined with drawnwork embroidery. It was made popular by the fact that it didn’t require other materials besides the fabric it was made on, so it was cheap. These are quite rare to see nowadays, probably because the work is difficult-ish (I tried some myself with a 1950s guide book), but the payoff isn’t as fabulous or effective as even the plainest cross stitch embroidery, or bobbin lace. My strange little example is more beautiful still because the cloth has been woven with two different colours of flax, which gives a nuanced impression of colouring for the rows of the little holes.

So  this has been your random bit of news about antiquated arts and crafts!
