A new study funded by the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) and completed by Harokopio University of Athens includes data on the global generation of used and end-of-life electronics. The study, “Statistics on the national arisings of e-scrap and the movement of e-scrap between countries,” reveals that the U.S. produces the most e-scrap per person and that Asia generates the most volume of e-waste.
