WRAP calls attention to recycling gap

摘要

A new study from a U.K. waste-reduction agency has found that consumers are giving up on many electronics and appliances that could be reused or refurbished.The value of reusing household waste electricals and electronic equipment, a new report from the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), has found that nearly a quarter of the electronics and appliances discarded each year by consumers could be reused, generating more than 220 million GBP (about $340 million) in gross value.
