ABSTRACT
Advancement and rapid increase in the technology and the increased economic activity lead to an increase in the production of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste). Since 1990, the growth in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) production and consumption ratio has increased exponentially e-Waste management (EWM) can be viewed as the process of collection, transportation, processing, recycling or disposal, and monitoring of e-waste. EWM can involve specialized expertise and different methods of waste management to make it more effective. The main environmental concerns related to the management of e-waste are the uncontrolled release of hazardous substances into the environment and the suboptimal use of recyclable materials. EWM can be viewed as a process of collection, transportation, processing, recycling, or disposal and monitoring of e-waste. e-Waste generation has been analyzed based on five different causes. Out of these five causes, new products are cheap, malfunction during operations, outdated technology, the completed lifespan, and finally high repairing cost.
