In 2024, 62 million tonnes of electronic waste were discarded, with less than 17% recycled in the EU.

Why are they mixing world and EU numbers? And given that the EU 17% are below the world value of 22% [source] and the actual value is above 40% [source]... Yeah no I am not buying anything, this is a pure nonsense money grab on the back of supposed green tech.
