Primary source
Provides approximate figures for environmental impact
caused by discarded TVs every year
Suggests manufacturer-driven e-waste recycling
schemes would significantly lower waste figures
Provides information that could be used to answer the
impact element of the research question

‘A National TV Recycling Program’ –
Product Stewardship Australia

Info found in this source can mostly be found in other
sources
However this is a primary source (differing to the
Secondary newspaper articles). So it provides a different
perspective and source type

More informal nature of blog format allows for yet another
different aspect and perspective

Is very informative regarding the specific contaminants
and hazardous materials contained in CRTs
Useful in formulating an answer to the impact element of
the research question
Focuses on individual pollutants i.e. lead, mercury,
phosphorous

Improvements that could be made to
the research
Use UoW journal databases to get some
tertiary sources
Yeah deffo should’ve looked up some tertiary
sources
Also look for sources with more information on
the environmental impact part of the research
question; majority of sources here relate to e-
waste recycling schemes (addressing the what
is being done part of the question)
Additional sources focusing specifically on
Australian CRT TV related e-waste would also
be good

Possible contribution to group work
Government initiatives to improve e-wasterecycling rates
Figures relating to approximated environmental
impact of e-waste that isn’t recycled each year in
Australia

towards the disposal of e-waste (such as old
CRTs)
