Sony Makes ‘Recycling’ Easier
Leaving a used item at a drop-off box that has the word recycling written on it is technically not recycling. I was shocked to find out just how much of the electronic waste generated by developed countries ends up being shipped to a poorer country where the components are dealt with in an irresponsible way by underpaid workers who toil in an unsafe environment.
This issue is not addressed in the press release that I have read today. I can only assume that Sony is no more responsible than most other large corporations with regard to this practice. If anybody can point me to some source stating where and how these Sony products are going to be recycled, I would be happy to comment on it.
