Green Heroes - E-recovery

60,000 tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste) is generated by Singapore every year — equivalent to each person disposing of 70 mobile phones a year. Only 6 per cent of this amount is recycled in e-waste bins around Singapore.

In part two of a special two-part series on Singapore’s Zero Waste journey, join National Geographic Explorer Arthur Huang as he uncovers a community-led programme to teach people how to repair old and broken electronics, as well as a cutting-edge research lab at a local university that aims to recycle lithium-ion batteries.
