According to a 2017 study, Bangladesh possesses e-waste containing approximately $500 million worth of recoverable metals. The research highlights that only 3% of the country's e-waste is formally recycled or exported. Consequently, valuable materials such as gold, silver, copper, and tin remain unrecovered, while hazardous waste continues to accumulate.
