DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Electronic Waste Management: Global Markets and Technologies" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global electronic waste management market was valued at $54.4 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $108 billion by 2027. This market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2022 to 2027.
E-waste, also referred to as electronic waste, is the term used to describe discarded electrical appliances and gadgets, including computers, smartphones, televisions, and refrigerators. These gadgets contain dangerous substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, and beryllium that can harm the ecosystem and people's health if improperly disposed of. E-waste is a global issue becoming increasingly problematic as consumer electronics usage rises and product lifespans shorten. E-waste that is not correctly disposed of can cause the release of toxic chemicals into the ecosystem, polluting the air, water, and soil.
A rich supply of priceless materials, including precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, can be found in e-waste. E-waste recycling can aid in the recovery of these materials, minimizing the need for new mining and the environmental effect of electronics production.
E-waste management initiatives combine consumer education, business regulations, and governmental policies. Numerous nations have set up e-waste collection and recycling programs to avoid improper disposal and encourage ethical recycling.
Technological advancement has increased the global demand for electronic equipment. Drastic innovations have shortened the life of these products, which has, in turn, exponentially increased the generation of waste from electronic equipment, and global production is expected to continue to accelerate shortly. More than 46 million tons per year of electronic waste are generated globally, with a significant share originating in Europe, the U.S., and the Asia-Pacific region. However, in the next decade, China, Eastern Europe, South America, and several African and Middle Eastern countries are expected to become significant electronic waste producers.
Electronic waste contains many valuable and recoverable materials, such as aluminum, ferrous metals, copper, gold, and silver. Electronic waste treatment and recycling have become a significant priority for maximum energy and natural resource conservation for many countries. Electronic waste also contains toxic and hazardous materials, including mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium, antimony, and many other chemicals, and recycling can prevent them from posing an environmental hazard.
E-waste, also referred to as electronic waste, is a rising ecological concern on a worldwide scale. Electronic device production has increased dramatically due to the lightning-fast pace of technical development, creating enormous amounts of e-waste. It is crucial to manage electronic waste effectively because improper disposal of e-waste presents a severe risk to the environment and public health.
