 What did you do with your old phone from high school or your laptop that you spilled coffee over? Are they locked away in a drawer somewhere or did you throw them in the trash? Electronics consumption is increasing worldwide, but what happens to all of these devices when they reach the end of their lives? In 2019, the world produced 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste, equivalent to the weight of more than 150,000 jumbo jets combined. Only 17.4% of this waste was collected and recycled. Around the world, youth are emerging as leaders in sustainability, and we invite you to join us in our cause to make e-waste management a global priority. The Generation Connect Global E-Waste Iconathon is an icon design competition for young people aged 18 to 29 years. Create an icon to signify the take-back and collection of e-waste that can be used and understood by retailers and consumers around the world. The winning icon aims to identify where consumers can dispose of their e-waste responsibly. Be one of the top three finalists who will work with professional designers to develop their icon and present it in person in June 2022 at the Generation Connect Youth Summit.
