About 5.3 billion phones will be dumped in 2022. However, only a few of them will be disposed of properly. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum prepared the report. This Brussels-based entity organised surveys to prove that. The organisation surveyed Portugal, Netherlands, Italy, Romania and Slovenia. It also did a separate UK Survey. The average household contains 74 e-products. They include phones, tablets, laptops, electric tools, hair dryers, toasters … etc. Of them, 13 are being hoarded. The surveys were conducted from June to September 2022.
