In a stark warning, UN agencies have highlighted the concerning amount of electronic waste generated globally—a staggering 62 million metric tonnes in just one year. Despite this alarming figure, the recycling rates for electronic waste remain dismally low; with only 22% of that waste being formally recycled. Electronic waste, or e-waste, poses a significant environmental and health hazard if not properly managed.
