CIO magazine have provided an article that highlights just how far Australia has to pick up its game in the management of the electronics waste stream, which is both disappointing and unsurprising. With 99% recyclability potential, that's an awful lot of resources going into landfill sinks, which could be providing a useful resource source. Estimates by the ABS put resource flows annually at 3million PCs bought, with half a million recycled, 1.8 million going to landfill and the rest held in storage.
