Caregiver Life Red Blue And Blessed Shirt, hoodie
Global sales of the heavy electronic appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines and air-conditioners, fell the hardest worldwide between six and eight percent while small IT and telecommunication equipment, including mobile phones, laptops and gaming equipment, decreased only by 1.4 percent.
A small silver lining is the associated reduction in e-waste generation in low- and middle-income countries, many of which have no or inadequate e-waste management infrastructure in place leading to environmental and health hazards.
Kees Baldé, report co-author and senior program officer, UNU and UNITAR, says that one way to redress the digital divide is to start programs to get low- and middle-income countries connected and benefit from the use of electric and electronic equipment.
“At the same time, ensure that associated e-waste is properly dealt with through making producers liable and responsible to collect and properly manage the e-waste; and getting the legislators to pass laws and pave the path to set up an e-waste management infrastructure,” he tells SciDev.Net.
Global e-waste is estimated to double in the next 30 to 50 years. In 2019, the global population created 53.6 million tons (MT) of e-waste. Asia generated the greatest volume of 24.9 MT e-waste, followed by the Americas (13.1 million MT) and Europe (12 MT), while Africa and Oceania generated 2.9 MT and 0.7 MT respectively, according to the UN’s Global E-waste Monitor 2020.
Veena Sahajwalla, director, Center for Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) at the University of New South Wales, sees this period of reduction in e-waste as an opportunity for developing countries to better manage it.
“E-waste contains valuable materials,” Sahajawalla tells SciDev.Net. “Better managing these finite material resources will not only help solve waste challenges, but also harness these materials to sustainably meet present and future needs as we move away from high carbon emitting energy sources.
