Upcycling Electronic Waste: Creative Projects for Old Gadgets
In a world where technology evolves faster than ever, old gadgets often end up as clutter—or worse, waste. This growing issue, known as electronic waste or e-waste, poses serious environmental challenges. According to the Global E-Waste Monitor, 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste were generated in 2019, and this figure is expected to rise to 74 million tons by 2030. But not all discarded electronics are destined for landfills. With a bit of creativity and a focus on sustainability, you can breathe new life into old devices, giving them a second purpose while reducing environmental harm.
