New Gadget to Track Trash

In this BBC News article, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has devised a gadget to be attached to trash for tracking purposes. It is thought that the results of this study could help make the 'removal chain' more transparent. The report indicated that this could especially prove beneficial in exposing what happens with electronic waste. First thing that comes to mind (for me)is, why make more trash to track trash, but the report indicates that such a study could prove to be more beneficial than harmful for the environment. What do you think?
