What is eWaste?
eWaste, or electronic waste, is a form of garbage produced when people "recycle" or dispose of their old devices. Nearly anything with electricity running through it can be considered eWaste, from laptops to toaster ovens. eWaste is notoriously difficult to dispose of because of it's complex nature.
If major corporations in countries like America illegally export eWaste to struggling developing countries, those countries will suffer.
