With endless room for growth and constant innovation, the technology industry isn't exactly known for its sustainability. New products are always being created, and older ones are continuously becoming obsolete in a perpetual cycle.

Recycling is always better than sending a laptop to the landfill (and in many cases, throwing away anything with a lithium-ion battery is illegal or strongly discouraged), but the best way to combat E-waste is to keep old hardware up and running for as long as possible. Even when you need a new daily-driver laptop, there are plenty of ways to give the one you're replacing a new lease on life.
