Why It’s So Important to Recycle
E-waste is one of the biggest issues facing society, with approximately 49.8 million metric tons generated worldwide in 2018.
It’s estimated that the current rate of responsible e-waste recycling stands at just 15.5% globally, which means most of this waste goes to landfill or is exported to vast e-waste dumps in Africa and South-East Asia. E-waste contains nickel, cadmium and mercury, which pollute the air, ground and drinking water.
