Surely copper at least is worth recycling?

• asien 5y ago
  The materials are indeed worth recycling but the process is just too expensive and complicated. Best examples would be devices like phones/microwave/tv they contain lots of those rare materials. Industrial simply prefer to sell junks for cheap in bulk to the African continent where very poor people burn those junks to extract the rare minerals. It’s not as simple as « 100% recyclable = Always Recycled »
