New National policy for e-waste recycling

ABC News

A new National Waste Policy is due to be put in place next year for recycling televisions and computers, a scheme welcomed by green groups and industry alike. Under the new policy, it is estimated that by 2021, 80 per cent of all televisions and computers will be recycled. Only 10 per cent of televisions and computers in Australia were recycled in 2007-2008, and electronic waste is increasing by 17 per cent each year.
