Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), told journalists that the “tsunami of e-waste rolling out over the world not only accounted for a large portion of the world’s non-recyclable waste mountain but also needed dealing with because many elements found in electronic equipment are potentially hazardous to people and the environment.”

He went on…

“Never mind that it is also an economic stupidity because we are throwing away an enormous amount of raw materials that are essentially re-useable, whether it is gold, silver or some of the rare earths that you have heard about perhaps in recent years, it is still an incredible amount.”
