“Deposits of gold in electronic waste are around 50 times richer than ore mined from the ground, according to figures put forward by recycling experts on Friday. The amount of precious metal junked in cellphones, laptop computers, PCs and other electronic goods is rising hugely but very little of it is recovered, they said. Tonne for tonne, e-waste has 40-60 times more gold than ore, according to the estimate.” [Maybe it’s time to let the free market decide what types of materials are appropriate to expend energy on recycling?]
