Abstract
The reuse and recirculation of products and materials are the basis of the concept of the circular economy. A circular economy entails markets that give incentives to reusing products, rather than scrapping them and then extracting new resources. The circular economy model has become highly relevant in recent years, with the electronics industry being one of the sectors that have considered its application. Electronic waste (e-waste), that is, waste arising from end-of-life electronic products similar to computers and mobile phones, is one of the swiftly growing waste aqueducts in this world moment. The developing world has come to the primary destination for the habituated electrical and electronic outfit (EEE) exported by the advanced world, making waste operations critical. Indeed, though numerous studies were conducted on waste operation, veritably many are conducted in developing countries that are significant donors of used EEE. India is among the top five-waste-producing countries in the world with an estimated periodic product of 2 million tons.
