Global Technology Leaders call on Australian Consumers to Recycle more e-waste

摘要

TechCollect recently hosted a global e-waste forum in Sydney with keynote European technology speakers and local experts inspiring invited guests toward achieving Australia's stated goal of 80% recycled e-waste by 2022. Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest growing contributors to Australia's waste. About 16.8 million TVs, computers, printers and related accessories are disposed of each year in Australia, an estimated 106,000 tonnes of e-waste - only about 30% of which is currently recycled responsibly.
