Under the lens of the world's largest e-waste disposal sites: Guangdong, in Guiyu-e-waste disposal sites, Guiyu-IT information
December 19, Beijing time, to achieve the goals of sustainable development, reducing waste is an important factor. Earth rely more and more on technology to achieve really possible? Kai Loeffelbein electronic waste in Guiyu, China took a group photo, you can see from the pictures how disposing of computers disposed of.
According to the statistics of the World Counts, of up to 30 million tons of electronic waste discarded globally this year. Most electronic waste shipped to Asia and Africa, where people use both hands to deal with garbage.
Guiyu in Guangdong Province, it is the world of e-waste. Reports show that Guiyu's children particularly high levels of lead in their blood.
Reports released by the United Nations, global e-waste generated by a record quantity of 2014 years. At current rates of development of science and technology, the number will continue to rise. By 2018, the world may reach 50 million tons of electronic waste generated per year.
Waste management charitable organizations of the United Nations WasteAid says: "if we fail to give priority to waste, the goals of sustainable development cannot be completed. 7.01 trillion tons of waste generated in the world each year, is one of the fastest-growing electronic waste. "WasteAid head Maike·weibosite (Mike Webster) said:" in my opinion, proper waste management is absolutely essential, and we hope that Governments around the world to pay more attention to this issue. In 2012, the only 0.2% of the international assistance on solid waste management, is far from enough. ”
Last year, Guiyu's e-waste recycling have disappeared, because the Government will handle the work shifted to the industrial park. Basel Action Network Executive Director Jim Puckett (Jim Puckett) said that the United States exporting most electronic waste entering the waste dumping grounds in Hong Kong. The amount of e-waste continues to grow, Puckett said: "Although size is getting smaller and smaller, but is still growing. People use more and more electronic products. ”
In Guiyu, woman melt circuit boards on fire, human exposure to toxic fumes. New industrial park will have a central extraction system. Puckett said if you cannot reduce the amount of e-waste, the international community could consider reducing the toxicity. He said: "we can interest number later, it is imperative to not let it poison the people. ”
According to the United Nations think tank "solve the e-waste problem" (Solving the E-Waste Problem; StEP) statistics, there is no data to suggest disappeared about 6 million tons of electronic waste every year. Puckett said: "there are incentives in the market, products are encouraged to use for longer periods. Now, some people might argue: ' don't worry, we are recycling. But recovery occurs mainly in the southern hemisphere. This is a second-hand world, through all things in the world to the developing countries, where infrastructure is weak. Electronic product recovery is actually quite low. ”
镜头下的世界最大电子垃圾处理场：广东贵屿 - 电子垃圾处理场,贵屿 - IT资讯
北京时间12月19日消息，要实现可持续发展目标，减少浪费是一个重要因素。地球越来越依赖科技，要达成目标真的可能吗？Kai Loeffelbein在中国贵屿拍摄了一组电子垃圾照片，从图片中可以看到废弃的电脑是怎样处置的。
根据World Counts的统计，今年全球抛弃的电子垃圾高达3000万吨。大多的电子垃圾运到了亚洲和非洲，在那里，人们用双手处理垃圾。
贵屿位于广东省，它是世界电子垃圾之都。报告显示，贵屿的小孩血液中铅含量特别高。
联合国公布的报告称，全球生成的电子垃圾数量2014年创了新高。按照目前的科技发展速度，数量还会继续上升。到了2018年，全球每年生成的电子垃圾可能会达到5000万吨。
联合国垃圾管理慈善团体WasteAid认为：“如果我们不能优先处理废物，可持续发展的目标就无法完成。每年全球生成70-100亿吨废物，电子垃圾是其中增长最快的。”WasteAid主管迈克·威伯斯特（Mike Webster）说：“依我之见，适度的废物管理是完全必要的，我们希望全球政府更加重视这一问题。2012年，只有0.2%的国际援助投向了固体废物管理，远远不够。”
去年，贵屿的电子垃圾回收工作已经消失，因为政府将处理工作转移到了工业园。Basel Action Network执行主管吉姆·帕克特（Jim Puckett）说，美国出口的电子垃圾大多数进入了香港废物堆积场。电子垃圾的数量还在继续增长，帕克特称：“虽然产品的尺寸越来越小，但是总量还是在增长。人们使用的电子产品越来越多。”
在贵屿，女人在煤火上融化电路板，人曝露在有毒烟雾中。新的工业园会有中央提取系统。帕克特说，如果不能减少电子垃圾的数量，国际社会可以考虑减少毒性。他说：“我们可以稍后再关心数量问题，当务之急是不要让它毒害人。”
根据联合国智库“解决电子废弃物问题”(Solving the E-Waste Problem;StEP)的统计，并没有数据显示每年消失的电子垃圾约为600万吨。帕克特认为：“市场上存在激励措施，鼓励产品使用更长时间。现在一些人可能会辩护说：‘不要担心，我们正在回收。’不过回收主要发生在南半球。这是一个二手世界，我们通过这个世界将所有东西抛到发展中国家，那里的基础设施很薄弱。电子产品的回收率实际上相当低。”
