Our growing reliance on technology in the workplace has raised the profile of IT and electronic waste (e-waste). Research indicates that the amount produced this decade could reach 5 million metric tonnes, turbo-charged by the artificial intelligence boom.
The environmental impacts of IT and electronic waste are considerable, making the improvement of recycling UEEE crucial for achieving sustainability tragets. E-waste commonly contains harmful chemicals and non-renewable materials that are mined from around the globe. Recycling these materials alleviates the need to source new materials from potentially irresponsible sources.
