The visualisation has 8 different views which you can switch between by using our toggle functions within three different tabs:

Map View vs List View

Country View vs Continent View

Average per Inhabitant (kg) vs Total (kt)

Why toggle?

The map view allows you to see the size of the counties or continents proportionate to the amount of e-waste generated as an average per individual or as a total of the population. Making comparisons becomes especially interesting when you switch between the inhabitant average and total e-waste generated. For instance, Hong Kong and Switzerland, while relatively small geographically, generate more e-waste per person than large countries like Russia – something easily overlooked on a heatmap.
