Impact of E-Waste Processing on Health and Environment
Abstract
This chapter explores innovative e-waste management solutions focusing on technology and sustainability. It introduces the universal risk assessment framework (URAF) for e-waste sites, a model to evaluate contamination. The chapter highlights urban mining as a sustainable alternative to traditional resource extraction, along with supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) and thermal plasma technology, which transform hazardous e-waste into harmless byproducts and clean energy sources. Technological advancements, including blockchain-enabled waste tracking, AI-powered automated sorting, and IoT-integrated smart waste bins are revolutionizing e-waste management efficiency. Additionally, policy-driven strategies such as right-to-repair legislation and modular electronics design aim to extend product lifespans and reduce overall waste. However, challenges remain in implementation, particularly in developing nations where regulatory enforcement and economic viability pose obstacles to formal recycling.
