In Australia, millions of electrical devices are abandoned every year, such as televisions, laptops and cell phones. Indeed, the fastest-growing portion of the urban reliable waste stream is e-waste Sydney.
In the five years to 2019, the Global E-Waste Sydney Monitor 2020 estimated that e-waste. Increased by 21 per cent and projected that by 2030, higher usage rates, shorter life cycles and reduced replacement choices would almost double the figure for 2014.
The Problem
✗ 88% of both the 4 million computers and 3 million TVs bought in Australia each year will end up in landfills, leading to Australians producing 140,000+ tonnes of electrical waste each year.
✗ Less than 1% of TVs and about 10% of Desktops and laptops are reused in Australia.
✗ E waste Sydney accounts for 70% of the hazardous contaminants present in landfills, such as lead, cadmium and mercury.
✗ The amount of every other waste source is three times the rate of electrical waste.
✗ Thrown away computers pile up at a rate of 40 million per year around the world.
✗ 98% of the device or television parts will be entirely recycled.
Thanks to the harmful chemicals such as lead, mercury and arsenic that pollute our soil and water. It can also damage our habitats and our health, e-waste will cause severe environmental problems.
