There is over 347 Mt ( Million Metric Tonnes) of unrecycled e-waste on earth in 2023.
Over the past ten years, we've witnessed an average annual uptick of 2 million tons in global e-waste production. Looking ahead, the crystal ball of projections reveals an astounding forecast: by 2030, we'll be staring at a staggering 74.7 million tons of electronic waste. That's nearly a doubling of the current figures in just a mere 16 years. The digital age's ever-accelerating pace shows no signs of slowing down, and the mountain of electronic waste continues to rise.
