Electronic garbage, commonly known as e-waste, refers to a variety of electric and electronic devices that are no longer useful to their users or serve the function for which they were intended. Products classified as electronic waste include refrigerators, washing machines, and microwaves as well as televisions, radios, computers, and cell phones. E-waste products have outlived their usefulness either through redundancy, replacement, or breakage. E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste sources since the information and technology revolution has rapidly boosted the usage of new electronic equipment while simultaneously producing enormous volumes of old devices. E-waste differs from conventional municipal garbage in that it often contains recoverable valuable elements in addition to complicated combinations of extremely toxic compounds that are hazardous to human health and the environment. Each product of the six e-waste categories has a different lifetime profile, which means that each category has different waste quantities, economic values, as well as potential environmental and health impacts, if recycled inappropriately. Consequently, the collection and logistical processes and recycling technology differ for each category, in the same way as the consumers’ attitudes when disposing of the electrical and electronic equipment also vary.
