The E-Waste Dilemma Are Tech Giants Stepping Up

In facing the towering e-waste issue, several leading tech companies have made headlines with their commitments to sustainability. Companies like Apple, Samsung, and Dell have launched take-back schemes, enabling consumers to return old devices. Furthermore, Apple's ambition to one day make all its products from recycled materials stands as a testimony to potential industry changes. However, critics argue that these efforts, while commendable, are still not enough—the pace of change is slow compared to the accelerated rate of e-waste generation. The consensus among environmentalists is that much more aggressive actions are required to make a significant dent in the e-waste crisis.
