ERA driving e-waste collection momentum further this year

With electronic waste, or e-waste, growing five times faster than documented e-waste recycling globally, organisations such as E-Waste Recycling Authority (ERA) in South Africa have made strides to improve the local volume of e-waste recycling.

The company says African countries’ e-waste recycling rate is lower than 1%, while e-waste in South Africa is growing at three times the rate of solid municipal waste.
