Why it matters
According to the UN, the world generated a massive 57.4 million tons of e-waste in 2021. Unfortunately, only 20% of e-waste is properly collected and recycled. This means that a plethora of valuable materials such as silver, copper, gold, platinum, and others are incinerated or landfilled.
E-waste recycling enables the recovery of these valuable materials, alleviates our dependency on extracting new resources and reduces the dangers that improper disposal poses to the environment and human health.
