E-Waste

In Europe, e-waste is increasing at three to five percent a year, almost three times faster than the total waste stream. | The current global production of E-waste is estimated to be 20025 million tonnes per year, with most E-waste being produced in Europe, the United States, and Australasia. | The global market for electrical and electronic equipment continues to expand, while the lifespan of many products becomes shorter. | Consequently, large amounts of "e-waste" are constantly generated worldwide, posing an increasing global challenge for their disposal.
