Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
World's E-Waste to
Grow 33% by 2017, Says Global Report.
The more electric
or electrical products are produced, the more e-waste is generated as well. But
no reliable and compatible data had been available to overlook the amount of
e-waste comprehensively produced by each country until this new study was made
by the Solving the E-Waste Problem (StEP) Initiative, a partnership of organizations
and groups.
The data was
gathered and compiled by country, so that each responsible government would be
able to take actions to solve this mounting problem, which shows approximately
20 kilograms of e-waste per person were produced in 2012 on this planet with nearly
a seven billion population. These e-wastes include TVs, refrigerators, cellphones,
computers, monitors, tablets and so on.
The largest
manufacturers of such products are also the largest contributors of such e-wastes,
aren’t they?
Enjoy reading and
leaning about the world e-waste map.
