Recovering raw materials from electronics, including non-ferrous and precious metals, is essential in the 21st century because recycling saves both natural resources and other resources. For example, recycling one monitor saves the energy needed to send over 70,000 text messages. In this episode, we visit the specialized Stena Recycling Electronics Processing Center in Wschowa in the Lubuskie Province and see how it works. Recycling is one of the methods of protecting the natural environment.
