He uses electric cars manufactured with used batteries, and life is more than Tesla.

The man in the photo is called Eric Langger, which is the CEO of a Los Angeles, an electronic garbage collection plant. It is called "Elon Mask and Edward Snowden, the electronic garbage world". The title of "Elon Mask" is this: In 2017, it made an electric car with a recycling battery, breaking the world record of electric vehicle life.

It is called "Edward Snowden" because he is currently sentenced to prison due to copyright, and he printed 2.8 million Windows system recovery CD, and also sent out with a computer repaired by CD. Lange's legal entanglement and electronic product creativity makes him a logo character for repair plan and electronic waste.

Lange was sentenced to this incident with an unexpected result: people add attention to recycling electronic garbage. Thanks to the continued attention of the media, people have a deeper understanding of the environmental damage caused by irrespectable products, and the environmental damage caused. According to United Nations statistics, the world has added 99 billion pound electronic garbage every year - it is equivalent to nearly 4500 Eiffel Tower.

Regulators have almost no measures to this. Even if there are thousands of independent electronic recyculations in the United States, it is estimated that the electronic waste from the landfill is less than ten percent. I interviewed him before I started 13 months of prison, I started.

Microsoft insists that the Langgee figure is profit from the system of the system in which he prints, and Langger believes that if there is no activation code, they are worthless. I don't pay attention to his details, I am more interested in the science and social issues of electronic garbage, and how Eric Lange creates value from garbage. The following is an interview with Eric Lange: Have an example to talk about how you use electronic garbage.

Lange: I have bought a bunch of Canadian solar panels damaged due to storms, cut off their work parts, and then reassemble, now they are enough to cover me in Los Angeles 65,000 square feet of buildings roof. We use these recombinant panels called "Sun" to get free electrical energy, and store these electrical energy in the battery pack of hybrid vehicles. We use these free electric energy to run the block mining mining station, and the currency it creates can be exchanged to the US dollar and then pays to the company employee.

So, now I can proudly say that the salary of every employee of our company is paid by recycling garbage reuse. This kind of business model sounds self-regeneration. That is, a regeneration, self-generating form; in biology, often using regenerative and self-composed of cellular working methods.

Lange: This is a good motade: let electronic garbage self regenerate! You still have the longest mileage of electric vehicles driving the "Guinness World Record". Lange: Yes, the car built by our team can charge 1000 miles at a time, it is built with waste mixed power car batteries and other waste parts. 90% of the vehicles are electronic garbage.

We build it to prove that those things we have discarded still have valuable. Lange and his record of electric car Langger and his record of electric cars have also made a lot of work in personal electronic devices. Lange: I recycle old mobile phones, then make them now popular video doorbells.

I remove the battery from the old mobile phone, and use these batteries to create a battery pack of current intensity. These battery packs can be used as external batteries, power supply for laptops, camping equipment or new mobile phones - all of these costs only Need to make a small box, only cost 17 cents. How big is the problem brought by electronic waste? Lange: In the United States, in the best case, we can recover 15% to 18% annually.

Electronic waste is a kind of garbage in the world's fastest speed, 40% of all toxic metals in the US landfill, from electronic waste. Think about it: Those who breathe in our air, enter our waterflow, and finally appear in the food we eat, to poison metal, directly from electronic waste. Some people think that these electronic garbage can be poured into the so-called "environmental protection" landfill, which adds a plastic bag at the bottom of the landfill pit, but it still does not prevent a toxic metal leak, so this does not solve the actual question.

Create an electronic product, but finally buried in the soil, this practice is really. The descendant may take the landfill while we ask us so waste. Is the export electronic garbage be a solution? Lange: If a developed country does not deal with electronic garbage, these electronic garbage will be dumped to other countries that are not so developed, then what do you expect to happen? When I was 19 years old, I have been to other countries, I have seen the evacuation of improper treatment of local electronic waste.

In our country, I saw that people dumped into electronic garbage in the lake, and the children played by the lake, people were drinking water from these lakes. Then I went to investigate the local hospital, I found that all the causes of all people were the same: mercury and lead pollution. I have been to Ghana, Ghana Games to deal with electronic garbage through the combustion method, and the locals live 26 years old.

At Khan Capi, the capital of Ambocus (the world's largest electronic trash), everyone has breathing problem. These sights are terrible, if you have been there, you will understand why I care, why do I want to govern the US electronic garbage?. Then how do you plan to govern the US electronic garbage? Then how do you plan to govern the US electronic garbage? Lange: My first goal is to let consumers have the ability to repair their electronic products and extend product life.

If the product in the consumer has two longest life, then our electronic waste can reduce half. That's why I will enter prison, because in the process of trying to solve the problem, I hindered some of the more product industries to get more profits, these industries do not want consumers to use the products. What do you have related experience in how to excite electronic products companies to recover their electronic garbage? Lange: I spent a few years of time to travel in major electronic product companies, telling them "to do electronic garbage recycling, because it is correct" "For your children, do electronic garbage recycling" " Because it is beneficial to the environment, but there is no progress.

Until I went to our country to learn how to make money with electronic waste, bring these solutions to the United States, and began to pay for the company to buy electronic waste, everything began to operate. It seems that there is sudden between, I have a solution that can resonate to resonate: I can help them make more money. Now, my company is recycling, repairing and reuse e-garbage, each admitted to electronic waste weighs 43 million pounds.

This reminds me of the agriculture supported by the community. In that case, people sell fruits and vegetables that are not charged in the supermarket to consumers. Lange: I am working hard with my grandfather from small in Apple.

We have a measuring tool, if Apple can pass through the hole, the vegetable market will not receive. We have many containers apples because it is too small and does not meet the requirements of commercial sales. When I ask my grandfather, we should take those Apples that are not enough, he said: "We can do apple wine.

"Then we do that, the results have made a business with things that will be wasted. What kind of electronic garbage is your company? What kind of electronic garbage is your company? Lange: After Christmas every year, I can buy about 40 trucks new laptops. Those computers usually have only some fingerprints, we call "consumers' remorse".

This is just the products you bought from a big store. How did these products come, for example, some people bought a Christmas gift for her father. As a result, the father said, "I don't like this color", or "I like the keyboard with a calculation board", then they will return these equipment.

And retailers can no longer put them back on the shelf. Original equipment manufacturers will not want them. Therefore, we pay the retailer, let them accept these computers, take it to clean up, refurbish, clean these almost have been cleaned, then sell again.

Think about all the energy, time and energy required to put a computer, then multiply, 40,000 computers that I collected, overhaul and redistribute. That is very large carbon emissions. However, I think about it, 400,000 children can use these computer to write homework.

Sweden has cut repatriation taxes to encourage repair. This is an important part of turning off the malignant cycle of electronic waste. Lange:.

Think about thousands of US american postal trucks, they return to the post office, and we may use them for reverse logistics. For example, print a label is attached to the old box, put the unwanted electronic product into it, then place the US postal truck recycling to the door. We can pay such a distribution system to recover electronic waste within the United States.

In that, we don't have to export electronic garbage to develop my country. We can lead the world in the sustainability of electronic waste, rather than exporting national electronic waste. I hope to see that the Environmental Protection Bureau station will give up.

I am very happy to see someone who authorizes the federal electronic garbage nationwide recycling plan. How do you think of the production person responsibility? The framework assigns the responsibility of the product throughout the lifecycle to the manufacturer and the company profit from product sales. Lange: In California, we have an SB20 bill (many household equipment contain harmful metals such as lead, cadmium, lithium, and barium, which can cause various health problems.

In order to reduce the risk of penetrating harmful metals in electronic waste, California passed the Senate Act 20 or SB20 in 2003, and consumers provide a certain amount of taxation for appropriately disposing the designated project electronic product. - Translator Note). Whenever you buy a new TV or monitor, you pay $ 10 taxi for the future.

But in fact, other states send their electronic waste to California, so we pay taxes and cost of electronic waste is immortal. The provisions to deal with these issues must be implemented by the federal government in the United States, and push the responsibility to those who have no ability to handle this problem. One way to reduce electronic waste is to make modular electronic products.

For example, take out the chips of old mobile phones, replace it with a new chip, and then have next mobile phones instead of throwing all other old mobile phones. Working parts. Lange: Yes, you said it is completely correct, it is a great idea under the ideal situation.

But the manufacturer like Apple, this chip replacement makes them no profit space. In that case, they can only sell you every year will be a $ 50 HD pixel camera, not a 1,000-dollar mobile phone. In the current situation, we should allow people to purchase new products, but to ensure that they can still use them when people don't use these products, or can be repaired.

When we decided not to use an electronic product, we have to think about it: Is this electronic waste to make our world better or worse? All major companies want back customers. Lange: My future plan is to build a company named "Madegreen", build a business model to ensure that consumers will never become turning back. I will work with scientists to make sure you buy my product once, it will be able to accompany you.

The product will be made from 100% recyclable material. These materials are either biodegradable, or they can be transformed into new things, so that there is no carbon emissions. If other companies have also adopted this spirit, we will live in a great cultural atmosphere: waste will become the past, everyone will be satisfied.

Does knowledge sharing have a potential solution for electronic garbage? Lange: We hope that everything is open source. My electric car plan is open source, and anyone can learn how to build such a car on YouTube. During the availability of this information, DIY sports are booming.

The invention is no longer secret, as long as you want, you can do it. I don't even have a university degree. When I was 19, I decided to go to my country to learn mixed recycling.

I learned to accept failure and learned from it. People like private customization. I want to leave, most people will want to save their electronic products for a longer time.

Lange: Our disposable use culture has been flooded in people and society. We started to treat everything with this attitude. This is a character that will add addiction.

Almost overnight, people have already used it to abandon it, and the whole environment has become like this. I want to see us look at our Earth and leave it to our children.
