THE GROWTH OF THE GLOBAL ELECTRONIC WASTE MANAGEMENT MARKET

THE GROWTH OF THE GLOBAL ELECTRONIC WASTE MANAGEMENT MARKET
Recycling electronic devices
recovers many of the
valuable components within
them, such as gold and
other precious metals.
Disposing of electronic
devices in landfills can be an
extreme hazard to the
environment and can cause
many health problems to the
residents nearby.
The second largest
contributor to the global
E-waste industry is
Europe, where many of
the residents are
already very aware of
the importance of E-
waste recycling. A part
of the world which is
somewhat behind in this
growing industry is
North America, where a
major portion of its E-
waste is shipped to Asia
and West Africa.
In 2010 the US exported a large portion of its E-waste, however this is expected to change as it continues to develop a domestic recycling market. Adoption of domestic E-waste recycling programs will reduce the amounts of export to developing nations and further reduce adverse environmental and health effects associated with disposal in those nations.
One estimate has indicated that approximately 57.7 million tons of E-waste were produced globally in 2013, or an average of 15 lbs. per person living on the planet. As newer electronic devices are produced every year, there is a growing need for individuals to adapt to the latest technologies.
Many companies are beginning to
cash in on the E-waste recycling
industry. Computer manufacturer
Dell recently began producing a
computer that is made from
recycled plastic salvaged from
recycled E-waste. Many government
agencies have also begun to take
initiatives to deal with the growing
amount of E-waste that has been
generated over the years.
The global E-waste market is expected to reach close to $50 billion over the next 5 years. It is one of the fastest growing industries currently and is spurred by our ever-increasing need to have the latest electronics and household appliances. It is important that we are able to dispose of our E-waste in environmentally and health-friendly ways.
