Abstract
Our world has been seriously disturbed by the problem of electronic waste, or e-waste, due to the fast pace of our digital world. The inclination of consumers has increased due to faster and newer innovations, which have accelerated more quickly than expected. This has led to ever-decreasing product lifespans and higher electronic consumption. As a consequence, e-waste is among the wastes that is rapidly accumulating in the world. By 2019, the global generation of e-waste already exceeded 53.6 million metric tons, and by 2030, it is predicted to increase up to 74 Mt. Such an increase of e-waste raises critical environmental and health hazards as well as economic losses because when hazardous materials are not disposed of, resource content gets wasted. Therefore, there is a rapidly increasing desire to introduce the circular economy model to transform the design, production, use, and end-of-life processing of electronic products. The circular economy emphasizes product longevity, longer life cycles, and encourages the reuse and recycling of product materials.
