    In 2018, an estimated 50 million tonnes of e-waste was reported, thus the name 'tsunami of e-waste' given by the UN.

Der heutige #InternationalEWasteDay des #WEEE-Forums ist doch ein sehr guter Grund einmal in Schubladen, in Kellern und auf Dachböden nachzuschauen, ob dort nicht mehr genutzte Laptops, Tablets oder Smartphones lagern.
