E-waste facts

1. In 2019, 53.6 million tonnes of E-waste was produced.
Throughout a single year, the world produced more tonnes of E-waste than the entire population of Kenya (53 million). This waste is an increase of almost 2 million tonnes from the previous year, the weight of 200 Eiffel towers.

2. Only 17% of E-waste was recycled sustainably.
Of the 53.6 million tonnes produced last year, only 17% was recycled. This means 83% of the electronic waste generated in 2019 was discarded through improper means and has the potential to be thrown to landfills where it can leak harmful toxins into the earth.

3. Adults and children can be significantly harmed by landfills.
Once we dispose of an asset, we may not want to think about where it will end up next. But in reality, electronics thrown to landfills can be harmful to nearby residents. Through inhalation, skin exposure, and ingestion, toxins can cause illness which can cause brain damage and even kill those exposed to it.

4. It is estimated that the annual amount of E-waste will exceed 74 million tonnes in 2030.
As the increase in annual E-Waste is rising steadily by 2 million tonnes per year, it is expected that in just 10 years our yearly electronic waste will surpass the weight of 203 Empire State buildings.
