This is an educational session developed by SAVe Board Member, John Thomas. This education session provides an overview of the electronic waste generated by the AV industry and where it goes, the impact on the environment, the toxicity of the materials used in the manufacturing of electronics, and how reckless disposal contaminates the water, soil, and the entire food chain.
This session also addresses solutions and systemic changes for the AV industry in the areas of reuse, repurposing, recycling and proper disposal of AV equipment and other related materials including cabling, wiring and power supplies.
