E-waste is generally considered a separate category than plastic, as it contains small amounts of a lot of useful, hard to mine metals - much of which is in the chips, but also the lithium in the batteries. And many of those metals are toxic if ingested so we need to keep them out of the soil and water.
Recycling those is probably far more valuable than recycling plastic, pound per pound. We just make so much plastic.
