Electronic Waste

As the latest electronic gadgets and products enter the market, superseded goods become e-waste - the fastest growing waste stream in the modern world. 'E-waste' refers to all electrical and electronic appliances in a state of disrepair, obsolete, or simply no longer wanted. This ranges from mobile phones, TVs, computers, toys and gadgets, to fridges and microwave ovens.
