　　‘We need to see real leadership’

　　“我们需要看到真正的领导力”

　　Approaches like BlueOak’s urban mining refinery “have the potential to be an important part of the solution, to recycle the materials embedded in these devices, reducing the demand for virgin materials and the energy needed to produce them,” said Gary Cook, a senior IT analyst with Greenpeace.

　　像蓝橡树公司城市采矿厂这类方式“有望成为电子垃圾解决方案的重要组成部分，它们能够回收嵌入电子设备的材料，从而减少对原生材料和生产这些材料所需能源的需求，”绿色和平组织(Greenpeace)资深IT分析师加里o库克说。

　　Greenpeace also wants to see more robust efforts from the electronics sector, Cook said, such as stronger take-back programs and a commitment to using recycled materials in electronics products.

　　库克表示，绿色和平组织还希望看到电子行业采取更有力的措施，比如更完善的回收计划，承诺使用再生材料生产电子产品。

　　But it starts at the top. “What we also need to see is real leadership from electronics manufacturers in creating products that are designed to have a longer life,” Cook said, citing the example of modular mobile phones such as Phonebloks and Project Ara, “and not designed for the dump in two to three years.”

　　但这些努力必须由最高层率先推动。库克说，“我们还需要看到电子产品制造商展现出真正的领导力，需要它们设计、制造拥有更长生命周期的产品。” 他还援引了模块化手机制造商 Phonebloks和 Project Ara的例子。“它们不能继续设计一些使用两三年就不得不废弃的产品。”
