Researchers noted that mismanaged e-waste recycling allows contaminated plastics to enter everyday items, calling attention to 'dirty' recycling streams and their health implications.
Andrew Turner pointed out in 2018 that the rising demand for black plastics is partially fulfilled by recycled electronics, which introduces significant health risks.
