Electronic waste has become a huge problem in the last few years in the United Kingdom. Thousands of tons of old electronic items are filling up our rubbish tips, the majority of which are completely un-biodegradable. These are leaking dangerous chemicals into soil and potentially polluting our water and killing the natural inhabitants. One of the main sources of this electronic waste is the Apple iPod, since being released 8 years ago over 205 million units have been sold.
