→ According to US EPA
(http://www.epa.gov/ecycling/manage.htm)
of the electronic products sold between 1980 and 2007, approximately 235 million units had accumulated in storage as of 2007.
→ Of the 2.25 million tons of TVs,
cell phones and computer products ready for end-of-life (EOL) management, 18%
(414,000 tons) was collected for recycling and 82% (1.84 million tons) was disposed of, primarily in landfills.
→ From 1999 through 2005,
recycling rate was relatively constant at about 15%. During these years,
the amount of electronics recycled increased but the percentage did not because the amount of
electronics sent for end of life management increased each year as well.
→ For 2006-2007,
the recycling rate increased to 18%, possibly because several states have
started mandatory collection and recycling programs for electronics.
