National E-Waste Day
October 14
According to the latest UN’s Global E-Waste Monitor, in 2022, 62 billion kg of e-waste were generated globally. This means 1.55 million trucks filled with e-waste lined up along the Earth’s equator. The quantity of e-waste is expected to rise to 82 billion kg by 2030. Currently, the amount of e-waste is growing five times faster than formal recycling collection rates since 2010.
Cost-neutral:
- Encourage your tenants to go on an e-waste hunt to find and recycle forgotten electronics
- Partner with a local recycling centre and be a drop-off point for your tenants
Mid-range:
You could offer a small prize to anyone who brings in an electronic to be recycled
