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.

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!
I'm all for collecting and using natural resources but the free for all extraction of the 19th century is over, all stakeholders need a say in the process.
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.

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.
People who talk about about banning child labour is missing the point. These kids are forced to work, because the family is poor, and the family cant afford to send the kids to school. Ask any parent of child miner and everyone of them will say, they prefer/wish their kids go to school for education.
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.
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.
let's face it there is nothing that's going to stop any kind of pollution it will always exist period no matter how or why your idealistic or your opinions may be, and it will always cause someone harm to prevent it
Often when natural resources are found in 1st world countries, they find non-toxic and health stealing ways of extracting resources. Places like India can’t just agree to always remain undeveloped and not use natural resources. What is needed is to use labour friendly ways of extracting them.

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.
