Electronic waste is estimated to reach 1.2 million tons annually by 2030.
The technological boom of the last few decades has solved many issues, but it's created one big issue that's becoming increasingly more difficult to ignore. Billions of electronic devices are sold each year with the lion's share ending up in the landfills instead of being recycled. In fact, electronic waste tripled between 2000 and 2020 and continues to rise.
Electronic waste is non-degradable and often contains harmful chemicals and metals. When electronic waste ends up in the landfill, these toxic materials are released into the soil creating issues for our health and the environment.
