This means a lot of valuable resources are literally going to waste.Among the components are bits of silver, copper, gold and steel. In total, scraps of electronic devices represented $57 billion-worth of resources in 2019, of which $47 billion-worth wasn't recycled.Africa holds the lowest rate of formal e-waste recycling in the world -- only 1% of binned devices are redirected to recycling plants.

BRUSSELS — In this special edition of Futuris, we report on one of the missions that the European Union is launching to find solutions to the main challenges of our time.Five missions shape this initiative, part of the incoming Horizon Europe initiative which will begin in 2021: Carbon-neutral and Smart Cities, Soil Health and Food, Adaptation to climate change, the Fight against Cancer and the Protection of our Oceans and Inland waters.Our seas, oceans, coastal zones, glaciers and inland waters produce around half of the oxygen we breathe and provide 16% of the animal proteins we consume. But these rich and fragile ecosystems are under threat from climate change, pollution, over-fishing and tourism.How do we protect these environments and preserve their socio-economic value?Pascal Lamy...
