For modern people, laptop is not only a deadly gadget. Instead, it's one of my assistant and one of my fella. After five years' hard working, I have to say goodbye to it and send it to the recall house. Like the cars that companies for several decades, it takes many memories in the old days. It's the witness of our life and work. However, we may have few knowledge of the story after the retirement. It;s a hazard to abandon the old laptop.
Some users throw it along side the road. Others send it to the recall house. All in all, they are useless in our eyes. It couldn't work any longer. In addition, they have taken up large place at home. So people are reluctant to throw it away. To tell you the truth, those electronic apparatus are sent abroad though they are taken as electronic waste. In fact, many people have no idea of this. Those electronic devices like computer, laptop as well as the gadgets like laptop battery, laptop AC adapter and laptop LCD screen are potential bombs. Like the laptop battery as Dell RN873 Laptop Battery and IBM 42T4504 Laptop Battery, they are made of the heavy metal and toxic chemicals which are terrible once it leaks. With high-speed technology updates, more and more products are replaced by new devices. According to a research, there will be billions of computer around the world will be replaced as waste disposal in the next five years.
The fact is that the developed countries tend to transport those disposals to the developing countries like China, India and etc. to reduce the pollution due to the high cost of digest those waste at domestic place instead of domestic recycling. It's a pity that the developing countries make full use of the inside circuit by chemical method or other solutions. Then they will reuse the inside component of the E-waste to make money, ignoring the pollution of the environment.
Like Hp 485041-001 Laptop Battery, Dell U4873 Laptop Battery and HP V6305NR Laptop Battery, they are lithium battery. Imagine that the battery exploded outside and the flowing of the inside chemical materials, what a pity to dump the laptop as well as computer.
