Australians buy – and throw away – millions of electronic devices every year, but only a fraction of them are recycled. Mobile phone recycling is already available, and Federal regulation for e-waste such as televisions and computers is on the way, but there’s still a long long way to go. This week on the Australian Bite representatives from the mobile phone and television manufacturing industries talk about what’s been holding us back, and what we do and don’t recycle, and why. We also meet some farmers from Mudgee, New South Wales, who like to milk, not shear their sheep!
