Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement mentions that the recycling of e-waste has improved, but still, 60% of e-waste is being landfilled and incinerated, which means there is still a significant amount of e-waste that is not being recycled. This indicates that option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because although e-waste has been classified as toxic by the EPA, it doesn't necessarily mean that all of it is being recycled. Option B is incorrect because it is not an EPA mandate to replace all metals in electronics with biodegradable materials. Option C is incorrect because it implies that only charity organizations are taking action for e-waste recycling, while in reality, there are many other entities involved. Option E is not mentioned in the statement.
