UOB E-Waste Ecosystem Financing

In 2019, the amount of e-waste generated was equivalent in weight to almost 4,500 Eiffel Towers¹. Of this, Asia was the largest contributor, generating 24.9 million² tons of e-waste in that year alone. With the recent rise in demand for home entertainment and the need to meet work-from-home requirements, the amount of e-waste generated is expected to grow.

UOB simplifies sustainability for business. To do so, we have developed UOB E-Waste Ecosystem Financing to support and address the financing needs of the value-chain.
