Japan taps delivery trucks in push to recycle rare metals from e-waste

The Japanese government is launching a pilot program that involves smaller ground transport companies to collect electronic waste as part of a broader initiative to address the recycling of rare metals from e-waste.

This initiative reflects growing concerns over the environmental impact of e-waste and the need for more sustainable resource management practices.
