From the article: Electronic devices have never been more pervasive in society than they are today. That means we’re creating a lot of electronic waste. According to the UN, the rate at which it’s being generated is five times faster than we’re recycling it using documented methods.
The 2024 Global E-waste Monitor [report](https://api.globalewaste.org/publications/file/297/Global-E-waste-Monitor-2024.pdf) by the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) warns that the annual generation of e-waste is growing at a rate of 2.6 million metric tons per year.
E-waste is defined as discarded devices with a plug or battery, such as phones, TVs, and laptops. It doesn’t include waste from electric vehicles.
The report states that 62 million metric tons of e-waste was produced in 2022, enough to fill 1.55 million trucks with a 40-ton capacity. By 2030, the amount of e-waste produced in one year is predicted to hit 82 million tons.
