So, what is e-waste?

E-waste, or electronic waste, is unwanted, broken, or nearing end of “use life” everyday electronic products and equipment such as computers, televisions, phones, etc. Every year, globally, we generate around 40 million tons of electronic waste. To put this staggering amount into perspective:

· It’s like throwing out 800 laptops every second

· The average cellphone user replaces their unit once every 18 months.

· E-waste comprises 70% of our overall toxic waste

· Shockingly, only 12.5% of e-waste is recycled

· 85% of our e-waste is sent to landfills and incinerators are mostly burned, and release harmful toxins in the air!

· E-waste contains hundreds of substances, of which many are toxic. This includes mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, chromium, and flame retardants.
