Roughly 40 milion metric tons of electronic waste(e-waste) are produced globally each year, and about 13 percent of that weight is recycled, mostly in developing countries.
About 9 milion tons of this waste – discarded televisions, computers, cellphones and other electronic devices - are produced by the European Union, according to the United Nations Enviroment Program (UNEP). The organization notes that this estimate of waste is likely too low.
Informal recycling markets in China, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and the Philippines handle anywhere from 50 percent to 80 percent of this e-waste, often shredding, burning, and desmantling the products in “backyards”. Emissions from these recycling practices are damaging to human health and environment.
Developing countries with rapidly growing economies handle e-waste from developed countries. And from their own internal consumers. Currently, UN estimated 70 percent of e-waste handled in India is from other nations, but the UNEP estimates that between 2007 and 2020, domestic television e-waste will double, computer e-waste will increase fives times, and cellphoes 18 times.
