Created 06/29/2012 - 10:30 A designer in the U.K. has developed
what he is presenting as a better way for people in the
developing world to recycle e-scrap. The Esource is a bike-
powered machine designed to be relatively easy to maintain that
separates copper and plastic using water in way that is not only
healthier but leaves the recovered metal unburnt and more
valuable. The southern African country of Namibia did pretty

in at 33rd for its political and regulatory environments. But
according to an opinion piece on www.allafrica.com , the country
could do even better by introducing e-scrap regulations. ECS
Refining celebrated the one-year anniversary of its Stockton,
California processing plant with a two day open house , June
27-28. The e-Stewards certified location has a processing
capacity of 30 million pounds of material per year. To return to
