A dangerous new waste stream is rapidly emerging.
Greenpeace has commissioned the report, Toxic Tech: Not in Our Backyard, to investigate the global sales of electrical and electronic products and assess the amount of waste arising from this.
The UN estimates that some 20 to 50m tonnes of e-waste are generated worldwide each year, comprising more than 5% of all municipal solid waste. The fate of large quantities of this so-called e-waste is unknown. This “hidden flow” is the e-waste that escapes responsible collection, reuse and recycling systems and as such is unaccounted for.
