Electronic or e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream globally. In 2019, a record of 53.6 million metric tons of globally generated e-waste was reported. Electronic devices contain an extensive list of precious metals as well as harmful chemicals; if no product recovery procedures are applied, we lose scarce resources and create a negative environmental footprint.

Many high-tech products contain high-demand metals. These metals are of strategic importance to the world economy but will likely be difficult to access in the future. As critical materials, they are part of society’s critical infrastructure and should therefore be recycled and reused to a greater degree.
