It follows the biggest contributor, Norway, which is responsible for 26kg of e-waste per capita each year.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Uswitch study, since records began in 2008, IT and telecoms e-waste has nearly doubled in size, with projections suggesting that e-waste in the UK could rise as high as 55,000 tonnes by the year 2030. According to the report, should this upward trend continue, the UK is on course to overtake Norway and become the world\u2019s largest contributor to e-waste by the year 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, Norway has been actively improving its e-waste management through its \u2018take-back\u2019 scheme which encourages businesses to take responsibility for the issue. Switzerland, the third largest contributor of e-waste per capita has a similar scheme. Through the scheme, firms that produce or import electronic waste are required to help finance the e-waste and recycling industry. Currently, there exist five approved take-back companies within Norway with over 5000 member producers\/importers. Resultantly, the recycling rate for e-waste in Norway stood at 43.9 per cent in the year 2018, whilst the figure for the UK in 2021 was just 31.2 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/uk-become-world-s-biggest-e-waste-contributor-2024\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-385\/\">UK to become world\u2019s biggest e-waste contributor by 2024<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4065,579],"class_list":["post-116320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ewaste","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116320\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
