The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has decided to launch a special campaign for recycling computer hardware. For this purpose, it has published a practical guide in English and will soon publish one in French.

According to reports, this computer recycling practical guide project will be highly useful for entrepreneurs and project sponsors. With the help of the guide, users will develop their skills of utilizing the computer wastes in an entrepreneurial way.

This news comes at a time when environmentalists have expressed a deep concern over the impact of compute waste on health and environment.

Environmentalists have also questioned the long-term impact of the 35 million computers already dumped regardless of varieties of toxic substances contained in them.

The UNESCO has also decided to make the recycling guidebook freely available to users.
 At a time when computer raw materials are getting costlier, the recycling project will help entrepreneurs economically benefit from the valuable gold, silver, palladium, copper, indium, gallium, iron, and aluminium retrievable from the old personal computers.
