There is no data on exports - the US definitely does not keep all of its electronic waste inside its borders. Also, what are different types of facilities/organizations that break down electronic waste?

I am interested in the breakdown of how the US manages its E-waste: is there a coherent data set available to analyze the proportions? CarlesPuyol5 (talk) 23:26, 3 March 2017 (UTC)CarlesPuyol5[reply]

Request Edit

I have a WP:COI with NextWorth Solutions, an electronics trade-in service, which is currently going through a "Good Article" review, however it cannot meet the GA criteria without addressing the Orphan tag. It's possible it shouldn't be de-orphaned, however one possibility I mentioned was adding something to this article under the Reuse section along the lines of: "Gazelle and NextWorth are the two largest electronics buy-back websites" (or something)

The sources are:

  • "Gazelle and Nextworth are two of the biggest reselling portals" New York Daily News
  • "NextWorth and Gazelle. The best-known of the buy-back sites" MarketWatch

I notice there are currently many other services mentioned in this section without sources, however I can't say for sure whether any of them should be, including NextWorth, so I defer to another editor. Thanks much. CorporateM (Talk) 15:10, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even see this message beforehand, but coincidentally I added links to NextWorth and Gazelle. I'll take a look at the rest of your request. Edge3 (talk) 16:30, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Revised. What do you think? Edge3 (talk) 03:02, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to Cadmium in CRT phosphors is spurious. The only example of cadmium phosphorous I have seen was from a 1960s US Navy submarine. Cadmium was used in very, very, very early color CRTs to create reds and yellows (see CRT article on wikipedia). When Japan manufacturers created barium panel glass (which blocks radiation like leaded glass, but is more transparent), cadmium was discontinued, according to an interview I had with a retired San Diego CRT engineering professor 20 years ago. Given the prominence of cadmium in the article, and the gravity of the charge, this must be researched and anyone making the claim about cadmium may have to be questioned for objectivity./ Retroworks (talk) 00:26, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Robin Ingenthron[reply]

Good Article. Good use of different credible sources. Could make the introduction paragraph more encompassing of the whole article. But good article. Fluffybunny55 (talk) 20:27, 17 April 2017 (UTC)FluffyBunny55 April 17 1:20pm[reply]

See my complaint about unsupported references to cadmium in CRT phosphors - my research indicates the original source was a US Navy submarine CRT in the 1960s. My understanding is that cadmium phosphors were eliminated in USA, Western Europe, and Japan by the early 1970s.Retroworks (talk) 00:31, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Robin Ingenthron[reply]
