Datacenter rush will create ‘tsunami’ of discarded electronics, report says

Over the next 25 years, the volume of hazardous e‑waste could triple, producing enough discarded components to fill shipping containers that would encircle the planet six times. The surge raises concerns about future waste management and environmental impact.
