Abstract
Globalization and industrialization have led to drastic increase in the degree of solid waste generation; moreover, due to the migration of people, it is expected that in coming years demand of water and energy will increase manifold. This has led to the requirement of an efficient waste management mechanism. Though the ministry of environment and forest (MoEF) are continuously working for formulating conducive policies to curb the menace of waste disposal, still there is a need to have a central functionary to work at a wider level on this issue. There is a need to spread awareness among the masses so as to set accountability for each and every individual towards the environment. The present chapter is an attempt to provide a holistic approach towards e-waste management, which includes a systematic approach of collection, recycling, and minimization of e-waste resulting in bringing out sustainability in the environment. Finally, some suggestions and recommendations are provided which can be implemented for ensuring efficient e-waste management.
