What Is E-Waste?
E-waste has become a major issue in recent years. It refers to discarded electronic devices, including mobile phones, computers, televisions, and other digital devices. As technology continues to advance, electronic waste has become an increasingly large problem in 2023.
With technology advancing more and more year by year., people are upgrading their phones, computers, and other devices regularly, leading to a massive amount of discarded electronics.
Why Is Electronic Waste A Problem?
Electronic waste poses significant environmental and health risks. Improper disposal of IT assets leads to toxic chemicals polluting the environment.
Also, there are valuable materials within IT assets. According to The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), e-waste contains up to 50x more precious metals than mined ores. They also state there now needs to be a global effort to mine electronic waste, rather than mining the earth.
The issue seems to be growing. Based on current trends, it is reported that the amount of e-waste could reach 74.7 million metric tonnes by 2030. This is almost double the amount in 2014 (44.4 million metric tonnes)
