The United States is the biggest producer of e-waste. Every year, US residents and businesses discard approximately 100 million cell phones, over 41 million computers, and over 20 million TV sets by throwing them into landfills when they become broken or outdated.

Many of the components in electronic devices are made with the use of various raw materials. Gold and silver are often used to make the inner workings of electronic devices. Because of this, it’s estimated that the average landfill holds millions of dollars worth of gold and silver.

Recycling electronic waste could greatly reduce the need to constantly mine new materials for the creation of the latest devices.

Each year, the number of electronic devices that go into landfills has increased. In 2016, there were almost 50 million tons of e-waste produced, and because of the steady increase of this waste type, it is estimated that 2021 will see more than 57 million tons of e-waste if practices do not improve.

If 1 million laptops were recycled instead of being thrown into landfills, enough energy would be saved to power approximately 3600 homes in the United States for a year.
