Abstract(s)
O volume dos resíduos de tecnologias e outros equipamentos elétricos e eletrónicos tem vindo
a aumentar exponencialmente, desde que a posse de aparelhos tecnológicos se tem assumido,
cada vez mais, como indispensável à sobrevivência humana. O senso de pertença transmite o
status de felicidade e, não possuir estes bens, significa estar isolado do mundo. Diante desta
realidade, a necessidade do consumo acelerado destes bens provoca a geração de resíduos
desnecessários, criando assim um elevado impacto ambiental. A obsolescência, muitas das
vezes gerada ou impulsionada pelo próprio mercado ao diminuir o período de vida dos bens,
opera de forma a criar necessidade e dependência contribuindo para a degradação ambiental.
A reutilização e a reciclagem são relevantes num contexto de economia circular. Este estudo
busca, através de uma revisão de literatura, evidenciar o problema produzido pelo consumo
exagerado de tecnologias, alertando para a necessidade de que se procurem formas para mitigar
o problema.
The volume of waste from technologies and other electrical and electronic equipment has been increasing exponentially since the possession of technological devices has increasingly assumed itself as indispensable for human survival. The sense of belonging conveys the status of happiness and, not having these goods or equipments, means being isolated from the world. Given this reality, the need for accelerated consumption of these goods causes the generation of unnecessary waste, thus creating a high environmental impact. Obsolescence often generated or driven by the market itself by shortening the life span of goods operates in ways that create need and dependency, contributing to environmental degradation. Reuse and recycling are relevant in the context of a circular economy. This study seeks, through a literature review, to highlight the problem produced by the exaggerated consumption of technologies, alerting to the need to look for ways to mitigate the problem.
