Basic Data

Description: Every household contains diverse electronic and electrical equipment that requires connecting together or connecting to an electricity supply to recharge batteries or provide direct power through cables that use conductive materials, usually metals, often copper, to conduct the electricity. With frequent use the outer protective plastic, rubber or other shell protecting the conductive materials can get broken or freyed leading to a malfunction. Phone, recharging and other cables used daily tend to wear quickly and need replacing. What happens to your old cable? Do you recycle it?
