This encourages consumers to develop a mindset of replacing their electronic devices every few years.
Our electronic devices also require occasional maintenance to ensure their performance meets our needs.
Whether it’s a simple process like updating your apps or an activity that requires more effort on your part, such as clearing out files and uninstalling programs to free up disk space, these check-ups will boost your device’s functionality and lifespan.
When the time comes to dispose of an old device, look for environment-friendly recycling options to reduce the harmful effects of electronic waste in landfills or incinerators.
By changing the way you treat your devices and shifting out of the typical consumer’s “must-upgrade” mindset, you can make each device last longer and thereby reduce the adverse impact its lifecycle has on the environment.
