It\u2019s expected to reach 82 billion kg (90 million tons) by 2030. Although more e-waste is being formally recycled than ever before, the report says it\u2019s not happening nearly fast enough to keep up with the amount being generated.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the problem, the report says, is that many products have shorter lifespans and are increasingly difficult to repair.
