A public campaign can be created to increase people's involvement such as the Olympics. Both the Tokyo Olympic Medals[1] and to a lesser degree the Rio Olympic Medals were made from recycled electronics.
The interesting part about the Tokyo 2020 Medals was that it was done through a public donation effort. All it took was less than 50,000 tons of junk devices. Now just imagine how many precious medals are wasted according to the article with 74 million tons a year!
