Tech Industrys Greenwashing vs Genuine E-Waste Mitigation

As the public becomes increasingly aware of environmental issues, some tech companies have been accused of greenwashing—making misleading claims about their environmental efforts. While numerous initiatives are announced with great fanfare, a closer examination reveals that only a fraction of these projects have a meaningful impact on reducing e-waste. The challenge lies in discerning genuine attempts from mere PR stunts. Transparency and third-party verifications are crucial in holding companies accountable and ensuring that their efforts are substantial rather than symbolic.
