Last week, the United States General Services Administration announced that the US federal government will be banned from disposing of old electronics in landfills. This measure falls in line with several individual state laws that enforce a landfill ban on electronics for both residents and businesses. Also announced was that federal agencies are now required to use a certified recycler for their e-waste disposal. This is a very significant step taken by the US government, the country’s largest consumer of electronics, which has faced scrutiny in years past on its e-waste disposal practices. This new measure will ensure that all government-generated e-waste is processed by e-Stewards or R2 certified recyclers.
This creates an opportunity for electronics recyclers who have R2 or e-Stewards certification, as currently there are only a handful of recyclers on the GSA schedule with either certification. To read more about the latest announcement by the GSA, see the story here.

This kind of policies can help us to protect our environment and resources. I think it develop discipline and respect for environment in public.
