Anita Simon, ALTEO’s Deputy CEO for Sustainability and Circular Economy, was a guest on Mill\u00e1sreggeli on the occasion of E-waste Day, where she talked about how, in the age of digitalisation and electrification, the amount of e-waste is growing at an unprecedented rate, which is the reason why it is crucial to tackle this problem. Due to electromobility, we can expect an increased amount of battery waste in the future, along with the growth of solar panel waste as a result of the increasing electricity consumption and the spread of renewables.<\/p>\n

According to Anita Simon, the number of new electronic devices in the EU has almost doubled in the last ten years, while the rate of collection has lagged behind. Hungary generates around 100 kilotonnes of e-waste per year, 14% of which is handled by\u00a0ALTEO Circular.<\/a>\u00a0The company’s goal is to significantly increase this ratio in the coming years and thus return as many valuable materials as possible to the cycle.<\/p>\n
