What is E-Waste? How does it impact our environment?

E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to electronic devices that cannot be discarded with regular waste and must instead be taken to a certified recycling facility for proper disposal and processing.

Electronic waste (e-waste) is a significant environmental concern both globally and locally. In 2022, the world generated approximately 68 million U.S. tons of e-waste, with only about 22% properly recycled. The United States contributed around 7.9 million U.S. tons of e-waste. California, particularly Los Angeles, plays a substantial role in this, producing over 200,000 tons annually. Alarmingly, only 15% of U.S. e-waste is recycled correctly, leading to environmental hazards from toxic substances like lead and mercury leaching into soil and water. Businesses are major contributors to e-waste due to frequent technology upgrades. Implementing responsible e-waste management practices is essential to mitigate these environmental impacts.
