More Energy Needed in Battle Against E-Waste
It is estimated that 50 million tonnes of electronic waste - or e-waste - was generated globally in 2018, half of which comprised personal tech devices.
Only 20% of this e-waste is recycled, with the remaining 40 million tonnes placed either in landfill, burned or illegally traded - and this despite 66% of the world’s population being covered by e-waste legislation.
