Can we fix our way out of the growing e-waste problem? - BBC News - 0 views

  • world-wide collections are stagnating or even decreasing
  • In countries where there is no national e-waste legislation in place, e-waste is likely treated as other or general waste. This is either land-filled or recycled, along with other metal or plastic wastes
  • the rapidly-growing "Internet of things" - internet-connected gadgets - is expected to generate e-waste at a faster rate, as connectivity becomes embedded into everyday items
  •  
    This article mainly introduces the problems caused by e-waste and related solutions. E-waste not only affects environmental issues such as rare earth elements when it is landfilled or incinerated, but also the mining of its equipment manufacturing also affects the social environment, because a certain amount of emissions may be released in the process. Toxins are a great harm to the environment and the human body. Therefore, with the continuous emergence of e-waste disposal problems, some companies such as Apple and Sony have begun to extend the life of their equipment in recent years, and encourage customers to trade-in for recycling, making a certain effective contribution to the growing e-waste.

For the hospitality industry, there is a large amount of customer privacy and sensitive information. Once attacked, its destructiveness is unimaginable. And to protect consumer data, most service industries just comply with local state laws, but most state laws have not made greater progress in information protection. Therefore, enterprises should protect themselves and their customers from cyber threats from the three aspects of their own network endpoints, disaster recovery and education.
