Recent reports indicate that the electronic waste issue in the UK is worsening, with nearly 600 million handheld fans discarded within a year, making electronic waste management a significant challenge.

According to data from environmental organizations, these rapidly consumed electronic products not only contribute to landfill accumulation but also severely impact the environment. While handheld fans are popular during the summer, their short lifespan and improper disposal often lead many devices to become waste.

Experts urge consumers to prioritize the continued use and recycling of electronic products, and call for the government to strengthen regulations and promote recycling initiatives to reduce electronic waste generation.
