00:00This is how many Europeans refuse to recycle their old electronic devices.

00:10Millions of Europeans struggle to recycle their old phones,

00:14even when they are no longer in use.

00:17Recent Eurostat research shows that the majority keep their old device at home

00:23instead of tossing it.

00:25Only 11% recycle them, while 18% give them to someone else or sell them.

00:32Around 2% throw them away without recycling them.

00:36The share of phones that end up in general waste is particularly high in the Balkans,

00:4214% in Albania, around 11% in North Macedonia and almost 9% in Montenegro.

00:51By contrast, the lowest rates were reported in Croatia, Denmark and Norway.

00:58When it comes to old laptops and tablets, 34% of people keep them at home.

01:04However, around 1.5% of people simply toss them into general waste or elsewhere.

01:12Once again, Montenegro shows a particularly concerning rate, 9%,

01:18far above any other surveyed European nation.
