E-waste is a major environmental concern. A recent United Nations report highlights the annual world volume of end-of-life electronics is expected to jump one-third to 65.4 million tons by 2017. That's a 33 percent jump, in five years, of the refrigerators, TVs, mobile phones, computers, e-toys, and other electronics, people round the world have used and discarded. Recent statistics on e_waste, show that the US isn't the picture of perfect e-waste management. They have the largest 7.3 million tons, but it's number is surprisingly low when it comes to e-waste generated by an individual per year, with each citizen averaging 5.4 kg of e-waste. Americans produce an average of 29.8 kg each per year.
