The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

All this talk of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD kind of makes me want to go buy Standard DVDs!
Another proof 95% or so of the general public won't ever waste money on HD-discs of any format.. When was the last time any one went to a movie theatre and said, "Wow! Look at that beautiful 70mm movie image!"
Most movies are still recorded on 35mm film, but 70mm offers by far, a much better image than HD-DVD does over standard DVDs. Simple basic math... Divide a 35mm frame into 720 x 480 units (pixels). 70mm film has 4 times the area of 35mm so that gives 2880 x 1920 units (pixels), much more than HD is presently offering!
Be very leary of any one who claims they see a 'big difference' in DVD formats. Rather, be wise, compare for yourself, that's the best and only way!
