Role of E-Waste Management for Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

E-waste is the popular name for the electrical and electronic products nearing the end of their useful life. The products contain some hazardous substances that pose a threat to human health and their surroundings. Some groups of people named as vulnerable populations are prone to the health risks. The e-waste products need to be managed in an environmentally sound technique so that they are less harmful to people and the environment. The effective management of electronic waste continues to face substantial challenges and some recommendations are proposed to protect public health, foster green economic growth, and contribute significantly to a sustainable future.
