Only 20 per cent of electronic waste is being recycled around the world. The remaining 80 percent waste is dirty to nature. According to a research conducted with the help of the United Nations, in 2016, 45 million tonnes of electronic waste was born around the world. If this garbage is deposited in one place, then a mountain above Mount Everest will become or become 4,500 structures like the Eiffel Tower.

According to research by the International Telecommunication Union and the International Solid Waste Association, e-waste has become a major headache due to the rising income of people and cheap electronic items. Electronic waste in 2014 was 4.1 million tons. It is feared that by 2021, it will reach 5.25 million tonnes.

By recycling electronic items, precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, platinum and palladium are found. In 2016, raw material worth $ 55 billion came out from recycling. That too is only 20 per cent of electronic waste. If all electronic waste was a recyclable, then hundreds of billions of dollars could be saved.

Sea fish, less plastic:

The largest electronic waste in 2016 was born in China, 72 million tons. America is number two. Australia and New Zealand are at the top in the number of electronic waste producing countries. Every year a person leaves 17.3 kilograms of electronic waste every year. Only 6 percent of this is deposited. In Europe, about 35 percent of all electronic waste is collected.

Electronic waste includes old battery cells, CFL bulbs, mobile phones, CD players, CDs, old machines and TVs and computers. Disintegration of the ground and exposure to water leads to chemical reactions and many toxic substances dissolve in the environment. Contact with them has a bad effect on humans, tree plants and animals. In the river or lakes, the wire comes in contact with other things and makes the net and continues to affect the drift.
