Haven’t had a chance to read the article, but my take from the summary is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
In other words, proper e-waste management, and more of it. A lot just gets tossed in landfills or sent to third world countries (to get tossed in their landfills).
Really the onus of this should be on the manufacturer. I don’t think any product should be brought to market without knowing cradle-to-grave where it came from and where it will go (and paying for proper disposal, as well).
