In an endeavor to provide improved
information about the quantitative and qualitative dimensions associated with
escalating global the e-waste problem, StEP has come out with a StEP E-Waste
World Map which graphically portraysthe E waste problem. This first-of-a-kind e-waste world-map provides
comparable annual data from 184 countries, and shows the estimated amount of
electrical and electronic equipment put on the market and the resulting amount
of e-waste generated in most countries around the world. By providing a better
sense of e-waste quantities to anticipate, the initiative is expected to help
governments and companies plan e-waste management.
