麻豆约拍

What happens to old devices, with mass adoption of 5G expected to create a lot of junk? The 麻豆约拍's Rob Young has been finding out where our gadgets go when we are done with them. We get the perspectives of John Shegerian, co-founder of waste recycling company ERI in California, Ife Okafor-Yarwood who is a lecturer in sustainable development at St Andrews University, and Agudor Kwaku Agabas in Ghana, whose company AppCyclers turns e-waste into new products such as an egg incubator for farmers. Also in the programme, we have a report from New York where Wall Street is gripped by the story of an army of small investors, who have sent shares in a company called GameStop soaring, in what is known as a short squeeze. Plus we hear from Ivan Menezes, chief executive of alcoholic drinks maker Diageo, why sales for the company have increased during the course of the pandemic.
