    E-waste is an electronic product of a consumer or business which (actual or seemingly) has reached the end of its lifespan. Depending on city regulations and provisions, e-waste can be quite costly if not properly disposed. For instance, hazardous chemicals can seep out of used phones or tablets and pass through our water tables. California, the first US state to have enacted a Electronic Waste Recycling Act in 2003, implemented a legislation to reduce hazardous substance in newly built electronics and a fee for the disposal of larger electronics. This has proven successful in reducing E-waste thus far. Another solution to the E-waste dilemma is to create a market for re-purchase of such materials. Products that are "Designed for the Environment" are to be marketed as preferred and created as such. Therefore, consumers, environmentalists and entrepreneurs reclaim pollution and turn it into profit.
