Currently, electrical and electronic waste accounts for approximately 10% of municipal waste. Notably, over 80% of this waste consists of valuable materials, while hazardous and special pollutants make up around 7.2%.In the Middle East, Iran is one of the fastest-growing markets for electronic waste. On average, obsolete electronic devices in Iran generate approximately 4 million tons of waste per year.
