There are currently no known EEE recycling technologies that we can use in an environmentally responsible manner. In the United States, during 2005, Melvin Needhidasan reported, “two million or more tons of electronic waste were generated and only about 17 to 18 percent of it was collected for recycling. The remaining 80% ended up in local landfills” (Electronic waste”). Toxic material from e-waste in landfills can leak into waterways and groundwater. Burning plastic releases a component called dioxins. However, Needhidasan mentions: “Projections indicate that 80% of all US e-waste will be exported to non-industrialized countries. Furthermore, accepting this toxic waste is illegal in most of these countries” (Needhidasan). Many countries in Asia and West Africa accept waste from illegal trade, and the toxic technology is disposed of and dismantled using simple resources. In India, in deprived areas, people are known to handle e-waste without the use of covers or any kind of safety equipment. In fact, they used part of the waste as fuel to cook food. People are actually exposed to these toxins on a daily basis and due to their living conditions and cooking areas which are basically made up of e-waste recycling materials. However, in some parts of India, unsafe and illegal recycling practices are practiced in Delhi. Within the developing countries of India, more and more illegal waste dumping areas are emerging.
