video showing the recycling : Videozone
A EU ruling says all electronics must recycled and can not be exported illegally.
All shops must collect used electronics from their clients
In the "waste" of computers there is silver , gold , palladium , ... In total 17 metals
The collected "waste" is actually an open-air mine. There are more metals in it then that you could find in ore!
1kg of gold is equivalent of 3 tons of GSM's
only 1 to 2% of GSM's is recycled
It makes sense to recycle because there are to much noble materials in it to get them into a dump
