E-Waste Management and Sustainability Development

Abstract

Due to technological applicability, garbage isn't being rid of and thrown away as quickly as it used to be, even if the electronic and electrical industry is expanding quickly globally.   Electronics practices are growing as a result of work being more digitally transformed, particularly in the IT, healthcare, and automotive sectors.  In industrialized nations, the number of gadgets per person is increasing, which leads to a rise in the output of e-waste per capita.  From the age of 3 years old to 70 years old (taking into account average age), every individual carries at least 3–4 devices in their hands.  The rise of electronics and electricity is astounding. In addition, it is contributing to both global population growth and technological improvement..    E-waste is a major risk to the environment and human beings as it may contain hazardous & toxic substances like metals which are harmful to biological variability and the environment.  
Because e-waste may contain toxic and dangerous materials like metals that are bad for the environment and biological organisms, it poses a serious concern to both humans and the environment.  
As demonstrated in many developing nations, including China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and many Asian countries, the life cycle and types of electronic waste have been shown to have detrimental effects on the environment, ecological system, and human health. Additionally, the ridiculous disposal practices of these waste materials have contributed to even greater levels of threat. 
The improper disposal of electronic waste, including harmful chemicals and heavy metals, can have negative impacts on the environment, ecological systems, and human health. This problem is particularly prevalent in developing countries like China, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan. 
To address this issue, various approaches have been suggested, including recycling, recovery of precious metals, the implementation of circular economy concepts, developing relevant policies, and the use of advanced computational techniques. These methods can help to manage e-waste more effectively and may also provide secondary resources for critical materials that are at significant supply risk.
