Abstract
The global market for recycling electronics is expected to grow to ~ $66 billion by 2026, owing to the growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste), generated by electrical & electronic devices. Significant environmental & health issues result from the fact that only ~18% of this waste is collected & recycled in developing nations. E-waste contains useful materials that can be recycled, reducing need for natural resources & supporting renewable energy technologies. This chapter discusses different kinds of e-waste, recycling techniques, & the possibility of repurposing valuable materials in environmentally friendly technologies. It examines how e-waste is managed in major producing nations, pointing out areas that need improvement and offering best practices. Many nations lack recycling infrastructure & specific policies, which makes managing e-waste particularly difficult. Community education & stricter regulations are demanded. A concerted worldwide strategy is needed to properly manage e-waste, lessen its negative effects on the environment, & promote sustainable development.
