Recently, there was an article on BBC News that mentioned the hoards of unwanted and broken tech that we have stacked and stashed inside our homes are growing at a rapid rate. Within the last 4 years, on average we had around 20 unwanted tech items in our homes, but now it’s 30! It was also revealed that around the world, only about 12% of our E-Waste is actually recycled correctly and the rest is just thrown into our rubbish bins where it is then sent off to landfills and burnt which allows harmful toxins to be released into the air.
Referring back to the BBC article, stated that an estimated 880 million units of unused tech items are being held in UK homes right now with about £1 billion in value sitting there unused.
