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.
