Crisis of E-Waste

thecrisisofewaste.com is a website about cellphone recycling. It was created to help raise awareness about the environmental damage caused by electronic waste in landfills. The issue is, toxic chemicals are released from electronic devices if they are not discarded properly. The amount of chemical leakage has been increasing rapidly due to the uproar of digital culture and habits of purchase and throw away. Precious metals and finite materials are also being wasted. The site advocates for cellphone users to repair and recycle their broken devices instead of throwing them in the trash, which helps to reduce the issue.

The design seeks to magnify the problem and incite a revolution among visitors, transforming a scientifically dense topic into a lively, dynamic experience. Design elements such as the blocky typography and torn header effect make for a masculine and gritty feel across the website, echoing the coarseness of both cellphone repairing processes and toxic landfills. 
Each proposed solution to the crisis of E-waste serves as a link to a dedicated page on the website: read, repair, and recycle.
