"Residuos electrónicos, del problema a la solución" | Viviana Ambrosi | TEDxUTN

Electrical and electronic devices (EED) are increasingly pervasive in our lives. Among them, ICTs are an important factor for staying connected, studying, and working, but we will soon be replacing them. We know little about the numerous problems at the end of their life cycle when they become e-waste, nor that some problems begin earlier, during the manufacturing stage, nor how, by each of us addressing these issues, we can transform them into benefits for inclusion, equity, education, and environmental protection, thus benefiting all of society.
