Defective or worn-out hard disk drives usually contain plenty of valuable data recorded on them. But they are also comprised of valuable materials, such as aluminum platters, neodymium magnets, and a stainless steel chassis, just to name a few. So, instead of shredding them to destroy the data, Microsoft invented robots that disassemble them, potentially by the millions, to recycle those valuable materials, reports Blocks & Files.

This essay is adapted from Figuring. In June of 1952, the United States Fish & Wildlife Service received a letter of resignation from its most famous marine biologist. On the line requesting the reason for resignation, she had stated plainly: "To devote my time to writing." But she was also leaving for the freedom to use her public voice as an instrument of change, awakening the world's ecological conscience with her bold open letters holding the government accountable for its exploitation of nature.

With municipal waste set to rise by two-thirds and its costs to almost double within a generation, only a drastic reduction in waste generation will secure a liveable and affordable future, according to a new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report. Titled 'Beyond an age of waste: Turning rubbish into a resource', UNEP's Global Waste Management Outlook 2024 (GWMO 2024) provides the most substantial update on global waste generation and the cost of waste and its management since 2018.
