In 2019, the world generated a striking 53.6 Mt of e-waste, an average of 7.3 kg per capita. The global generation of e-waste grew by 9.2 Mt since 2014 and is projected to grow to 74.7 Mt by 2030 – almost doubling in only 16 years. The growing amount of e-waste is mainly fueled by higher consumption rates of EEE, short life cycles, and few repair options. Asia generated the highest quantity of e-waste in 2019 at 24.9 Mt, followed by the Americas (13.1 Mt) and Europe (12 Mt), while Africa and Oceania generated 2.9 Mt and 0.7 Mt, respectively. Europe ranked first worldwide in terms of e-waste generation per capita, with 16.2 kg per capita. Oceania was second (16.1 kg per capita), followed by the Americas (13.3 kg per capita), while Asia and Africa generated just 5.6 and 2.5 kg per capita, respectively. / Vanessa Forti, Cornelis Peter Baldé, Ruediger Kuehr, Garam Bel Sociedad digital E-waste SDGs EEE waste electrical electronic equipment 978-92-808-9114-0 https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Environment/Documents/Toolbox/GEM_2020_def.pdf https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Environment/Documents/Toolbox/GEM_2020_def.pdf ES-MaONT 200708 20211004062553.0 00006042
