ИСТИНА

Electrical and electronic products (e-products) are defined as any household or business item with circuitry, or electrical components with power or battery supply. This includes products from basic kitchen appliances to computers to cellphones. E-products are also becoming increasingly integrated in transport, energy supply, health, and security systems, making them a major part of modern society. Around 50 million metric tons of e-waste is generated globally per year, with an average of more than 6 kg per person. Not surprisingly, this distribution is uneven: richer countries produce more. Norway, for example, produces 28.5 kg per person per year, compared to an average of less than 2 kg in African countries.
