Update: 2022-10-24

Description

We all use technology every single day. From phones to computers, smartwatches and more, they are a key part of our everyday lives. But what do you do when it comes to replacing them? Do you repair them, recycle them, or, like most of us, simply throw them away?

In this investigation we look at huge impact our thirst for technology has on the planet, before switching our focus to the challenges we face once our tech becomes obsolete.
