The electronics industry produces an alarming amount of waste. 2019 alone saw the generation of 48.6 million tonnes of electronic waste (e-waste) globally, and these figures are increasing each year. E-waste dumping has significant negative implications for both human and environmental health and the electronics industry. Discarded electronic components feed the counterfeit electronics supply chain, threatening the quality, safety, and reliability of electronic equipment.
