tech waste vs appliance waste?
At 16kg per person that would seem to be more electrical than electronic waste?
Perhaps it is the short-service-life and electronics-dependent appliances that are making up the bulk of the waste. In the past year we have had to ditch a fridge (at least 10 years old) and oven (7 years old). When it comes to electronics, in the last 5+ years it has become increasingly pointless to buy new gear as the useful performance & capabilities haven't advanced much.
