(Reporter Wu Jinhui) At the 8th Expo, a sculpture entitled "The E-waste E-Waste Wave" has attracted widespread attention. The person in charge of Greenpeace, an environmental organization that launched the sculpture, said that if electronic manufacturing companies do not adopt measures such as non-toxic production and product recycling, electronic waste will threaten the global environment on which human beings rely.
The “E-waste Poison Wave†sculpture was made by Greenpeace in early May from a variety of e-waste collected from Guiyu Town, Guangdong Province. As they were dismantled and recycled in Guiyu, laid open in the open air, and eventually disposed of in open burning, toxic substances contained in these products were discharged into the surrounding environment without any treatment, becoming Guiyu. The direct cause of environmental pollution. Greenpeace hopes that through the exhibition of sculptures and the activities of volunteers, it is urged that electronic manufacturing companies stop using raw materials that are harmful to the environment and health in their products, and recycle and treat them after their products are discarded.
Greenpeace recently conducted tests and research on some household consumer products. Test results show that almost all electronic devices contain high levels of tetrabromobisphenol A, and some even reach 20%. In the 1998 Ministerial Conference on the marine environment of the Atlantic Ocean in the northeast, brominated flame retardants and other toxic and persistent chemicals have been listed in the chemicals that need to be the first to stop release, emission and depletion. .
