How Rare Metals Power The World’s 9 Billion Phones | Business Insider Marathon | Business Insider
I think there's a lie in here. You said for electronic recycling it requires corporations and consumers to properly dispose of their devices. I think this misses a very large part of the e-recycling problem. If corporations designed their products with recycling in mind, it would be much easier.
there are lies in all corp propaganda. they are WORSE than govts.
its called Planned obsolescence. look it up.
This i sstill very toxic because the chemicals energy intensive and costly time is running out to design electronics to be easily recycle or the entire planet will pay a price.
The problem is the product is not as good with second hand parts. So finding a recyclable substitute might affect the devices performance. Engineers don't just choose things willy nilly.
Companies tried that, consumers like you who claimed to want repairable phones and easier to recycle phones didn't buy it because it cost more and is bulkier.
Words are cheap, actions speak much louder than words.
I like how you just casually add in the guy eats coca leafs for energy lol.
It's very common in some countries in South America to chew on coca leaves.
@@Sulfen In other words, it's very common in some countries to be criminals.
Love these comments , everyone commenting from their bloody phones made from these People 😂
If yr itching to learn about chemistry, metallurgy, geology, etc., this video is 10% that, and 90% focused on sociological and environmental issues.
Companies like Apple, Samsung and others should be legally responsible for the complete lifecycle of their products, including recycling.
And they should make their products repairable.
@@JohnDir-xw3hf i absolutely agree, right to repair should be enshrined in law
@@JohnDir-xw3hfI used to think that way also , but once you open an iPad you understand why it can’t be repaired it’s just to small and fragile components inside . One could only imagine how do they to put all together
@@pedrohenriques2983 it because of software lock not size
All companies should.
thanks to whoever put this collection together. couldn't have been easy.
What an awesome video
trust but verify.
amazing how the poorest people always have the most kids.guess that means family is more important than money and knowledge.
or they can’t afford contraception… this is why there are growing populations in developing countries compared to advanced economies and developed countries. simply they can afford the sex education and contraceptions to be able to control how many kids they want in a more advanced economy.
Contraception would help on the numbers, but religion and a families need for Sons does not help!
phones & ev cars are not worth ruining the planet
Waow. Ur so right.. If they keep making these things, the earth lifespan will go down from 1.39 billion... to 700 million...
@@fernandoneugart1265Um... the Earth is 4.54 billion years old already son... So your projections make zero sense.
@@derekspringer6448 lifespan as in the time remaining do read next time
The lithium mining & copper mining operation is literally heinous & electric cars aren’t helping
Problem with recycling ewaste if not recycled properly like those poor people who burn the whole item to get the thing needed cause toxic/poison air community
Fungi that’s awesome
My friend gus passed away a few years ago....he was a fun guy
We humans are digging our own graves!
might be crazy but an increase from 9% to 15% is not a "slightly better" increase
I started in my mom garage selling computer but so did steve job success is to start 🎉
Ive seen places in New Mexico where Micah just like that is all over the ground on the side of mountains.
1:07:40 Out of topic... Indonesian family are awesome...
We can make stuff by just adding a eltron to anything
EXACTLY!!!
Huh??? Are you talking about growing gold and silver in a lab?
Yeah it's crazy what we could do
If you're referring to producing these materials synthetically, it is not really that simple.
First of all, what separates all elements from one another is not electrons but protons (for example, what separates elemental silver from elemental gold is that the silver consists of 47 protons while the gold consists of 79 protons). And unfortunately, it is not simple or generally practical to just stick protons together. Protons are positively charged, and therefore repel one another unless a high enough amount of energy is applied for the strong nuclear force to overcome the electromagnetic force that would otherwise keep them apart. This energy is so high, that for many atoms the only place with enough energy to produce them in high numbers is in the core of stars. For a lot of atoms, even this isn't enough and the energy required can only be found in supernovae.
And even then, you have to consider the stability of the atom, which is when neutrons and electrons begin to matter. For example, a Uranium atom with 143 neutrons will decay faster and is more easily broken apart than a Uranium atom with 146 neutrons.
And then some materials mined are desired not for the element but for molecular/crystalline structure. For instance, the graphite mined in this video is just carbon, but it exists in a desirable crystalline form. In this case, you'd need the elements AND the desired structure they form.
This isn't to say synthesizing these things is not possible (for some materials, we are already doing it), but it may be so difficult/impractical/expensive that it isn't worth it. Hopefully materials science will continue to advance to the point where one day we don't need to mine much of anything, but for now we should strive to make mining safer, reduce our dependence on the materials themselves, recycle materials, etc.
It's good that the electronics industry employs so many people, giving them jobs.
This will never counteract the blood shed that is happening to this day for these metals.
Its good thing no one fights against evolution and people that make money be a thing for land/water/fruits :)
should be a global pollution tax a kind of consumption tax to clean up waste and pay to protect oxygen producing forrests etc
Now I understand why an avocado is so healthy.
That ryobi wire cutter has got to be the worst purchase ive ever seen
It’s a garden pruner, and he didn’t purchase it. It was e-waste.
@@CT-vm4gf thank god
You said for electronic recycling it requires corporations and consumers to properly dispose of their devices.
i want to see with ther vacum tubes to create a hole that deep and fast that it can colapse, there is not 90% of sand only on the bottom of the ocean so it makes no sense at all.
Why he stoped fishing, because there are no fishes anymore at this place when they do work like that.
i used to take a bath in a bucket too . . .
Lithium batteries blow up 🔥 , i wouldn't even dare to drive an electric vehicle 🚘
But you don’t mind gasoline which is also flammable 😂
Yeah he wants to get it first. 😂😂😂😂
7:15 so we extract the valuable metals and then poisen the water supply for our neighboorhoods children... Sounds like a fair trade off huh? Money always wins!
Varis, auksas, sidabras gali būti padengtas specialiu laku kaip izoliacija tarp laidų ir nuo oksidacijos ir
taip daroma su vario laidais iš mikroschemų kad atrodytu kaip auksas, be to ten gali būti ir sidabras ir jis daug pigesnis nei auksas, jei ten būtu naudojamas auksas tada pasaulis senai pritrūktu aukso .
Why aren't they using high frequency vibrations after the circuit board is turned into a powder to separate the metals from the board material. The board materials can be used in new composite circuit boards
Cost I would guess, or the end product has no market. That's a huge problem with recycling in general, it's often cheaper to extract new instead of reclaim old. Vast majority of street recycling in the USA is dumped. The market was China for years, but they stopped buying it.
"new composite circuit boards" i do not think separating the glass fibers from the prepreg resin of PCB is making much sense economically. Besides, only the glass fibers could be recycled, if melted again, the cured prepreg resins certainly cannot be recycled.
The beauty of unchecked capitalism.
There is no way young mate is making a living in Aus with ewaste. Its a hobby.
they're killing themselves for chump change. They should be mining and refining the materials in country instead of exporting it for a fraction of it's value.
They’re doing the Lords work
sure but labor is expensive in america thanks to inflation and unionizing
your comment doesn't make sense: what are they exporting? The things that they *SHOULD* but presumably *AREN'T* mining and refining in country? I'd love some clarity
@@fernandoneugart1265 certainly has nothing to do with safety legislation, health care, insurance, environmental mitigation strategies (or absence thereof)......you're right, it's all the fault of the dems.
*IMBECILE*
Many of these countries are exploited by inside and outside sources.
Many countries ideals of freedom and fairness, stop short of their borders. And will happily exploited other people abroad.
My home bangka belitung island, Indonesia
psycho hunters say if eat meat u must hunt, but if they use phones they dont wanna go mining
When they say Green Energy Decarbonize 😂😂😂
Um what the sigma is happening in the comments💀
Seriously? Not $69,420?
So close!
This how companies making billions care about the locals that how the minerals around the globe
4:35 A pair of gloves is like 50 rupees (around 60 cents) - stop lying.
R u sure this doco wasnt stolen as iv seen it well over 2 years ago on another YT channel my child
"mica is used to prevent your smartphone from overheating", mmh, i do not see how, and i doubt mica is used much in smartphones actually.
Well , considering you don't make them , I guess it's okay that you don't understand it. But if you wanted to learn......could always do some , ya know , actual RESEARCH instead of just saying that it sounds too complicated for you to bother learning.
JerryRigEverything stuff.
Eeeeeeeee! Jason FROM MML
&9trillion cameras
isn't there only 8 billion people on earth?
these guys need knowledge for better life.
only phones? how about e-cars....
outlaw money , figure out a new system that does not create poverty on one end and corruption on the other, problem solved.
There must be far better methods of recycling rare minerals!? How many devices do not get recycled? I do not even throw out dry-cell batteries..
And yet the wife is sitting around playing games on her smart phone all day... wow dude. get played.
My fanny hurts
Urban mining
They should throw that garbage away
Me as Indonesian people are sad to see this, our gov cannot bring prosperity to own people as the result sure ppl din't have choice to mine Illegal even thats very dangerous if they din't mine they won't eat :(
when money talks
Copper ore $5/lb 😂😂😂 bro get your facts checked. Bare bright scrap Type K un recycled is like $1.45
😮😮😢🎉❤
The poor always make the rich richer.

Hello to all stopit people that watching this
bro what do u mean "stopit"?
Don’t try to call someone else stupid when you suck at spelling…
Hi
Worry about spreading the message instead of competing with the market E-waste recyclers. Said, some random fella trying to help.
Second 🥈😅
The west should stop talking about human rights until they show indeed.
its made by China developers right? so what is china best at? lol
can you put less AD? every few mins i'm forced to see garbage for at least a minute. downvoting.
I mean, what's so important about a desert? Couldn't they simply invest the money they earn into improving the community so they stop complaining? Also, 3.5% going to the locals seems like quite a bit of money, too. Shame on Bolivia for not having the foresight and the drive to do something right. The economy there would have helped so many...
More get rich fast and fairly easy.. well I call BS
So Bolivian silver funded European wars and churches 🙄 That is business 🤷♂
Electric cars MUST be illegal 🤬🤬🤬
There are non lithium batteries cars🤗
I agree. We must change over to mass public transit!
I will do 1 push up for every like my comment get,
I ain't a bot, ain't begging for likes.
Its just for motivation and becoming fit, video will start to upload from tumorrow.
We fed the devil of the corporate world with blood. God is not to be mocked. All the money and power mean nothing when u stand before Him. Repent now and come to Christ
Keep saying that when the church ask you for more donation. Prayer mean jack shit if you don't act
God is dead!
God is dead and everything will be dead alongside him. We are dieing.
So why do you support and vote for the morally corrupt and people that value $$$ over Christian beliefs and practices?
quit spreading your delusions
Ummm, so what's the answer? I ain't watching a one and a half hour video babygirl.
The answer is your attention span is ass
that is not the flex you think it is go back to youtube shorts bruv
Basically they try to sell you on purchasing a big machine if you want ti diy. This video focuses on the larger companies with the tech to make you think it’s expensive.
They focus less on the poor successful ppl and how they do it. You can research it and do it yourself
@@northwing3416 thanks boo
Imagine not having the attention span to watch a video 🤡
You must be joking to think anybody would care death over Prophets
