What E-Waste Generated Means

This game compares how much electronic waste each country generated per person in 2022.

  • The figure covers discarded products with a plug or battery, scaled per capita so population size does not dominate the comparison.
  • High per-capita generation usually says more about consumption and replacement cycles than about whether a country recycles well.
  • The report separately tracks documented formal collection and recycling, which is a different metric from generation itself.
  • In each round, pick the country with the higher e-waste generated per person, or SAME when the figures match.

The pile starts with consumption, not disposal. Recycling only arrives later, if it arrives at all.
