Question

【題目】 E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.

In recent years, _________. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make suretheyare properly recycled or reused.
