Electronic waste, or e-waste, is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the United States. In fact, a 2010 report by the International Data Corporation revealed that over 3.5 million tons of electronics were recycled by the domestic recycling industry that year.
That same report highlighted the economic impact of e-waste recycling, which employs more than 30,000 workers and generates an estimated $5 billion in annual revenue.
“This survey shows a booming electronics recycling industry and prescribes a clear path for even more growth,” said Robin Wiener, president of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI). “Electronics recyclers are creating American jobs, adopting industry standards, and recycling electronics here at home.”
Despite this growth, there’s a significant opportunity for improvement: American households account for most new electronic purchases but only contribute 26% to the e-waste recycling stream.
