State to conduct hearing on proposed Consumer Electronics Recycling regulation
The proposed rules concern the recycling of electronic wastes. These wastes contain a number of hazardous constituents, including, but not limited to, lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, and zinc. Currently, electronic wastes may end up being discarded with municipal solid waste or in other places where their hazardous constituents may threaten human health or the environment. In addition, materials used to manufacture electronics are valuable and can be reused to make other products when recycled. Recycling conserves natural resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, two important goals of the State Solid Waste Management Plan.
