E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally, with over 57.4 million metric tons generated annually, yet only 17.4% is properly recycled. Businesses account for nearly 40% of this total, making them critical players in solving this issue. As regulations tighten in 2025, companies must adopt sustainable practices not just to comply but to thrive in a changing economy.
E-waste contains toxic materials like lead and mercury that harm the environment but also valuable resources like gold, silver, and copper worth billions annually. By adopting sustainable practices, businesses can reduce their footprint, protect ecosystems, and unlock economic value through recycling and refurbishment.
Switching to a circular economy transforms waste into opportunity:
Companies like Dell and Apple already lead with programs recovering billions in materials, setting examples for businesses to follow.
E-waste recycling isn’t just about compliance—it’s a chance to lead. By implementing sustainable practices and embracing the circular economy, businesses can turn e-waste into profit while contributing to a greener planet.
