Ewaste a mounting problem


AS digital technologies become more integrated into daily life, from remote work to cashless transactions, the demand for electronic devices has surged with many consumers eager to upgrade to the latest equipment, leading to a sharp increase in ewaste.

It is projected that approximately 24.5 million units of ewaste would be generated in Malaysia by 2025. This staggering amount is equivalent in mass to 82 Petronas Twin Towers.
