Global e-waste documented to be collected and recycled 2019, by region

Published by Ian Tiseo, Aug 19, 2020
In 2019, Europe was the region that documented the most e-waste to be collected and properly recycled. At 5.1 metric tons, this amounted to approximately 43 percent of total e-waste generation on the continent. In Africa, just 0.03 metric tons was documented. Many developed nations export their e-waste to African nations, where it is often incinerated causing significant health risks. E-waste that is not disposed of properly can result in toxic substances polluting the environment.
