For every 1 million cell phones that are #recycled, 35,274 lbs of #copper , 772 lbs of #silver , 75 lbs of #gold, and 33 lbs of #palladium can be recovered.
A bit of a detour from E-Waste, but equally disappointing..
70% of our debris sinks into the ocean's ecosystem, 15% floats, and 15% lands on our beaches. In terms of plastic, 8.3 million tons are discarded in the sea yearly. Of which, 236,000 are ingestible microplastics.
