Additionally we will look at how maintaining and investing in social connections can support health and wellbeing.

Event 4 - Electronic Waste - Exploring public behaviour towards electronic waste (18 March, 2024)

Join Dr Lucia Corsini - Lecturer in Product Design and Enginnering in conversation to discuss attitudes towards electronic waste.

Waste products, electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste) is the fastest growing waste stream in UK and globally. In the UK, less that 35% of electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market is recovered, meaning that the vast majority is sent to landfill, incinerated, or illegally exported.

We generate 24.9kg of e-waste per person and 155,000 tonnes of e-waste is thrown away in household bins every year. Yet the value of precious metals in this unrecovered e-waste is worth over £370 million annually. This community conversation will discuss the public’s behaviour and attitudes towards e-waste, covering topics such as consumption, product lifetimes, hoarding, reuse, repair, recycling and disposal.
