Canadians are tossing out their electronics at a concerning rate, finds a new study by researchers at the University of Waterloo.
The study, published this month in the Journal of Cleaner Production, predicts Canadians will generate approximately 2.3 million tons of e-waste from 2025 to 2030.
Over the past two decades, Canada’s discarded e-waste has already tripled, and further increases pose serious environmental and public-health risks, say researchers.
