Humans generated a staggering amount of electronic waste in 2019 -- 53.6 million metric tons, which is a 21 percent increase from 2014.
A new international report reveals that only 17 percent of the waste was actually recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills, incinerated or simply unaccounted for. Small electronics, such as toasters, electric shavers and toys, make up 32 percent of 2019's e-waste.
