Management

of E-waste E-waste (electronic waste) consists of anything with a circuit board and is produced from discarded electronic devices and equipment, such as computers, mobile phones, televisions and refrigerators. Management of e-waste is increasingly important given the high volume of rapidly-growing e-waste, which can be toxic, hazardous and damaging to the environment. Proper management of e-waste, such as collection, transport, storage, and recycling or disposal, is necessary to ensure that these materials do not cause harm to humans or the environment. Managing e-waste is critical to protecting human health and reducing the environmental impacts of e-waste, such as air and water pollution, soil contamination, and climate change. By properly managing e-waste, it is possible to extend the life of electronic devices and maximize the value of recovered materials, as well as reduce the cost of disposal. E-waste management is an important environmental issue that should be given consideration to ensure that e-waste is properly managed and recycled.
