A 3-D Printer Made From E waste#The circle of electronic life: useless printer scraps become a way to print scraps of other things!

Resourceful 33-year-old inventor Kodjo Afate Gnikou of the West african country Togo has created a cheap DIY 3-D printer out of electronic waste scavenged from junk yards.

He and his printer system are#part of this year's NASA International Space Apps Challenge in Paris proposing to use e waste to make 3-D printers that would print tools to colonize Mars. euronews

#Flexible, biodegradable device can generate power from touch (video) Longstanding concerns about portable electronics include the devices'short battery life and their contribution to e waste.

The recycling of electronic waste will provide a'competitive source'of neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium for growing the clean tech sector-including electric vehicles, according to Kevin Cassidy, ceo of US Rare earths, Inc I

#Flexible, biodegradable device can generate power from touch Longstanding concerns about portable electronics include the devicesshort battery life and their contribution to e waste.

#Who should pay for e waste disposal? HONG KONG Hong kong will soon have designated a facility for dismantling and recycling electronic products such as televisions, refrigerators and computers.

A tax will be added to the price tags of electronic products to help pay for e waste disposal. Based on a similar tax in other cities, the cost of home appliances is expected to go up by $12 to $30.

the e waste fee is charged to the importer, as electronic products are manufactured frequently overseas. Of course producers have the responsibility to contribute a small part of their earning to the annual operation cost of the e waste recycling plant that will have our e waste properly dismantled

and recycled and reused,##Lau said. In California, there is a $10 fee added to the price of electronic products with viewable screens,

Right now, about 80%of Hong kong s e waste is exported to other cities and countries. Many of these areas are poor

and they hope that their invention will be an eco-friendly solution to a growing electronic waste problem.

Every year, 3. 2 million tons of electronic waste are thrown out in the United states alone. Organizations are trying to recycle the waste

and others like him (another team is building dissolvable circuits) are trying to deal with the e waste problem at the start--long before your phone gets stepped on or your computer crashes.

electronic waste has become a growing problem worldwide. But what if all those devices, currently languishing in the landfill,

a step toward greatly reducing electronic waste and boosting sustainability in device manufacturing. In announcing their new technology,
