In contrast, the resource requirements for producing new computers are enormous. The mining of the raw materials necessary for hardware production puts a massive strain on the environment. Every computer chip contains precious metals, rare earths and other raw materials whose mining is now considered highly problematic from an ecological point of view. The same applies to the disposal of old devices. Every year, more than 110,000 tons of IT scrap have to be removed in this country alone.
