When communities gain the ability to safely dismantle, sort, and repair e-waste, the value chain strengthens from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The global context makes this work non-negotiable:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The world generated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022<\/li>\n<li>Only 22% was formally recycled<\/li>\n<li>E-waste volumes are growing five times faster than recycling rates<\/li>\n<li>In South Africa, e-waste is growing three times faster than other municipal waste streams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These numbers tell a simple truth: cities that invest in repair, reuse, and responsible recovery will be the ones that build resilient, low-carbon economies.<\/p>\n<p>Our theme for 2025 captures the shift we\u2019re driving: <strong>\u201cDon\u2019t Trash It \u2013 Reuse, Repair, Recycle!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019ll be unveiling our full e-waste campaign on 28 Nov.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watch our channels for the rollout \u2014 and for how Bellville is redefining what a community-led circular system can look like.\u00a0Follow The Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) on <a
