Marking International E‑waste Day 2025, UNITAR and its partners highlight new findings showing that Europe’s discarded electronics contain around one million tonnes of critical raw materials (CRMs) such as copper, aluminium, palladium, and rare earth elements each year.

In 2022, Europe generated 10.7 million tonnes of e‑waste, with only 54 per cent managed through compliant systems. By 2050, the amount of valuable materials could rise to 1.9 million tonnes, and with improved design, collection, and recycling, up to 1.5 million tonnes could be recovered annually.

Experts including Dr Kees Baldé (UNITAR -SCYCLE), Jessika Roswall (European Commission), and Pascal Leroy (WEEE Forum) emphasise that e‑waste is not simply waste but a strategic resource that can strengthen Europe’s economy, reduce dependency, and create green jobs if managed within a circular economy.
