Learning of The Risks
In the United States, e-waste represents only 2-3% of America's annual solid waste. However, this small percentage also is responsible for 70% of the nation's hazardous materials found in landfills, according to the EPA. Worst off, only half of the states within the United States have legislation that properly addresses e-waste and how to safely handle and recycle it.
Electronic waste generation has been steadily increasing at an annual rate, with 2019 reaching an approximate 54 million metric tons produced worldwide. Although this is a global issue, certain countries are responsible for more e-waste generation than others. This being noted, per capita, the level of waste generation is far higher, and growing faster, within many developed nations. In 2018, globally, only 20% of all e-waste was documented, collected and eventually recycled. Nearly all of the remaining 80%, is undocumented; it's current locations and fate unknown. This negligence is harmful not only to the health of our planet, but the general wellbeing of people across the globe.
Much of the e-waste generated is shipped off to developing nations, where laws and regulations are far less stringent, leading to dangerous ways of processing this waste. E-waste, when processed incorrectly or hastily, can produce a plethora of harmful & toxic chemicals and components, such as Mercury, Arsenic, Lead, and Chromium. These volatile chemicals and fumes can lead to dangerous living environments, long term health issues and unusable water sources and land.
