By 2030, the world is expected to produce an estimated 75 million metric tons in e-waste, according to Statista. That waste holds roughly $60 billion in raw materials such as gold, palladium, silver and copper. Statista estimates just 17% of global e-waste is collected and properly recycled annually.
