2. INTRODUCTION
TO THE
PROBLEM
E-Waste by Generation Z in UAE:
• the UAE is one of the countries in the
world which generates the most e-
waste. Most of the amount of e-waste
is gathered from the UAE and most of
this e-waste is produced by generation
Z alone.
We can solve this issue by:
• Raising awareness
• Recycling

3. RAISING AWERNESS
USING EDUCATIONAL
ACTIVITIES
MOTIVATE GEN-Z TO
RECYCLE THEIR E-WASTE

4. • RECYCLING
RECYCLING IS A SUFFICIENT WAY
OF REDUCING E-WASTE
GENERATION IN THE UAE.
THE UAE HAS BUILT RECYCLING
STATION TO HELP RECYCLE E-
WASTE.

5. CONCLUSION
generation z should focus on
how they can minimize the
use of technology and not
produce a significant
amount of e-waste.
This issue of growing e-
waste in the UAE can be
resolved by motivating
generation Z to reduce the
use of tech devices and not
update to new devices soon
when something new is
launched in the market.
Also, authorities should raise
awareness regarding the
danger of e-waste and how
it is affecting the economy
and environment at the
same time.
Recycling is an effective way
to reduce e-waste as it will
have an effective impact on
the environment overall and
save the cost of producing
new goods.
