• Globally, more than 1 billion mobile phones sold in 2007 (896 million in 2006).

• Every day Americans throw out > 350,000 phones and 130,000 computers, making E-waste the fastest-growing part of the U.S. garbage stream.

• Contains both valuable and hazardous elements

• Manufacturing mobile phones and computers

Case: E-waste, a major challenge globally

• Manufacturing mobile phones and computers consumes 3 % of the gold and silver mined worldwide each year; 13 % of the palladium and 15 % of cobalt

• value of “e-equipment metals” used annually 45.4 billion $ (2007).

• potential material resource of 40 million tons/year.

• energy savings, environmental impact
