Poorly Managed Waste is a Climate Issue
1 in 3 people worldwide are forced to dump or burn their waste. This creates significant climate emissions and has negative impacts on human health. Waste management is a cost-effective solution for the planet and people in the race to net zero.
Find out why waste is a critical issue for the climate through a series of events, webinars and articles from waste management thought leaders around the world – including researchers, businesses, municipalities and specialist organisations.
Managing Electronic & Electrical Waste
Waste electronic and electrical equipment is one of the world’s most damaging and least recycled waste streams. In fact, 50 million tonnes of e-waste are generated each year, with 40 million tonnes going straight to landfills and dumpsites. Yet, many of us still don’t know what e-waste is.
Explore these resources to uncover the impacts of poorly managed e-waste on human health and the environment; read best practice case studies from Africa and Asia and access training materials to help you set up your own small-scale e-waste dismantling facility.
