The United Nations SDG Extended Report 2025 has confirmed that a record 62 billion kilograms of electronic waste were generated globally in 2022 — equivalent to 7.8 kilograms per person on earth. This figure is projected to reach 82 billion kilograms per year by 2030 if current trends continue.
Most alarming is the recycling gap: only 22.3 per cent of global e-waste was formally collected and recycled in an environmentally sound manner in 2022. The remaining 77.7 per cent — representing the vast majority of discarded electronics — was either landfilled, incinerated, or processed through unregulated informal channels that expose workers and communities to hazardous substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants.
Asia generated the highest volume of e-waste globally in 2019 at 24.9 million tonnes, and Bangladesh is among the region's fastest-growing contributors due to rapid digitalization, rising smartphone penetration, and expanding corporate IT infrastructure.
EWaste Prime was established specifically to address this crisis in Bangladesh — providing certified IT asset disposal, NIST 800-88 data destruction, hazardous material extraction, and circular economy refurbishing services aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The time to act is now. Bangladesh's rivers, agricultural land, and groundwater cannot absorb the toxic legacy of improperly discarded electronics. Contact EWaste Prime today to schedule a certified collection.
