Why Australia's e-waste problem is set to worsen | The Business | ABC News

Australia produces 500,000 tonnes of e-waste a year but only about half of it is recycled. Microsoft's decision to end support for its Windows 10 operating system on an estimated 240 million PCs across the globe is expected to worsen the e-waste problem. The peak body for the recycling industry is calling for improved management of e-waste and the producers of electronic devices, like TVs, phones and laptops to be made responsible for the waste they create. #ABCBusiness Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE ABC News provides around the clock coverage of news events as they break in Australia and abroad.
