Quarterly household consumer equipment e-waste collected in the UK 2013-2023

The quarterly volume of consumer equipment collected in the UK as part of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive is typically highest in the second and third quarter of each year. However, consumer equipment electronics collected in the second quarter of 2020 dropped to just 2,442 metric tons due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

在英国，作为《废弃电子电气设备指令》的一部分所收集的消费者设备季度总量，通常在每年的第二季度和第三季度达到峰值。然而，由于COVID-19疫情的爆发，2020年第二季度的消费者设备电子收集量降至仅有2,442公吨。
