Comments on: Study: E-waste build-up will plateau by 2015

Recycling efforts will increase and eventually catch up to the rate at which we're producing electronic junk.

Good point about all that e-waste. Such an irony though that you have this article next to the one where you (Cnet) continue to push the Kindle as the Second Coming?.

It's shocking how much technology is thrown away each year...
I've still got my old computer from 93, all the games consoles from before.
I could never bare throwing any of it away.

Worse is how little governments enforce recycling, everything should be, even old food, it can be burnt down to be re-used anywhere fairly easily, and for free (solar furnaces)
The only real cost is building and dealing with the material before and after. (which could all be solved fairly easily)

It will happen i guess, with time.

I am trying to find out how much of the average server could be recycled...we use HP servers but I can't find anything on their website that says how much of the server is made from re-cycleable materials...anyone have any ideas or know how I could find out?

But won't the Earth plateau in 2012?

Well, we had a good run... ;)
