Toner Recycling Stats & Facts
Everybody consumes electronic items, so everybody generates electronic waste. Electronic waste — also known as e-waste or the waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) — can be hazardous for the environment if the materials present are not managed appropriately. WEEE is the kind of waste with a high growth rate. This is because of the increased pace of technology development and the push for consumers to purchase the newest computer, printer, toner, cartridges, television, refrigerator, washing machine or mobile phone model. But what happens to the used toner and old model?
According to a report prepared by GSMA in 2014, on average every person on the planet generates 7 kg of e-waste in 2012. In 2012 alone, 48.894 kilotons of e-waste were generated. By 2015, this figure is projected to reach 57.514 kilotons, of which 8.6 percent — or 4,968 kilotons — will be produced in Latin America. In 2012 México alone generated 1.003 kilotons of electronic waste, which includes televisions, computers, projectors, printers and other devices.
