The forecast for IT hardware waste collected in the UK shows a steady increase over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, starting at 126.38 thousand metric tons in 2024 and rising incrementally each year to 126.50 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a minimal year-on-year variation, indicating a stable trend in waste collection growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in e-waste management policies and increased recycling technologies, which may influence waste volumes. Additionally, innovations in product design focusing on longevity and recyclability could alter the trajectory of hardware waste generation.
