| | In 2002, approximately 41 million computers will become outdated; and current analysis by the National Safety Council estimates that 63 million computers will become obsolete in 2005. It is estimated that 75% of these obsolete computers are stored, and by 2007, these stored computers will amount to about 500 million computers needing to be disposed. As new technologies enter the market approximately every two years, e-waste is a mounting concern.
