e-waste who creates the most?
Here are a few facts that just puts the problem of e-waste into perspective
- The United States produces the largest total amount of e-waste per year, at 7.1 million tonnes
- Norway generates the most e-waste per person, at 28.3 lg per capita
- African nations produce little e-waste
- China ranks second behind the USA generating 6 million tonnes of e-waste
What is really interesting is that most electronic waste from the “Developed World” ends up in poor nations that lack regulation. China processed 70% of the World’s e-waste and the rest goes to India, eastern Asia and Africa.
