Through the years the human being has been developing different tools that have

facilitated their dominance over the planet and improved the variables known as
"quality of life" standards. And the elemental principle of caring for the planet
has long been involved in this development.

The importance of technology for human beings is of immeasurable size and continues
to increase day by day.

Through the advances that have been developed in technology, man has developed
beyond what is imaginable communication systems, improvements in health, efficient
means of transportation, food systems and many others that simplify life on the
planet. .

Unfortunately, in many cases, technological improvements have been directly


proportional to environmental damage. If human beings are reaching the point of
making life impossible without technology, we must also reach the point of always
considering the environmental variable in technological developments.

Let's look at the case of cellular devices or smartphone devices, where the
industry is centralized in the development of these devices that have an average
utility of one year, where the user either by vanity or by inoperability the device
renew them with a high frequency , contributing to the annual contamination of
nearly 6 billion devices and taking into account that the components of these
devices are heavy metals and highly polluting elements, the damage generated to the
environment is almost irreparable.
