This report investigates the global sales of electrical and electronic products and assesses the amount of waste arising from this. Quantities of e-waste generated are predicted to grow substantially in the future, both in industrialized and developing countries. Rich countries often legally or illegally divert this problem from their own backyards: the "hidden flow" of e-waste that escapes responsible collection, reuse and recycling systems causes environmental damage in the backyards and scrapyards of poorer countries.
