A worker scoops metal trimmings from electronic parts, to be processed into metal alloy inside Integrated Recycling Industries at Calamba, Laguna, south of Manila April 7, 2011. The e-waste recycling and reclamation company salvages gold and other precious metals like silver, copper and palladium from microprocessors of discarded electronic products like desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones and copying machines. About 4000 integrated circuits from discarded mobile phones can produce about 100 grams of gold. REUTERS/Cheryl Ravelo (PHILIPPINES - Tags: SOCIETY EMPLOYMENT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT)
