Changes in E-Waste Produced Worldwide, by Category, 2014-2019 (IMAGE)
Caption
Cooling and heating devices (+7 per cent) have been the e-waste categories rising fastest in total weight terms since 2014, followed by large equipment (+5 per cent), lamps and small equipment (+4 per cent). driven by the growing consumption of those products in lower income countries. Small IT and telecommunication equipment have been growing more slowly, and screens and monitors have shown a slight decrease (-1 per cent), explained largely by lighter flat panel displays replacing heavy CRT monitors and screens.
