Development of New Recycling Approaches and Technology Management of E-Waste | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Electronics, Communication, computers and IT devices (consumer electronics) have changed the human life styles tremendously comfortable with many advantages, but they have brought in some hazardous side effects on environment. Management and disposal of E-waste has become a major problem in the world and is growing at alarming proportions. The accumulation of e-waste causing biggest harm to environment is the dumping of hazardous materials. The aim of this concept research paper is to study, analyze, discuss existing E-waste recycling methodologies and conceptualize and propose some new approaches for recycling 100% of e-waste. In this paper an attempt is made to present and discuss some new recycling approaches and technology management of E-waste through which discarding of e-waste into environment is either nil or minimal. This method also envisages extraction of each and every material from e-waste. Increasing global trends of e-waste and implications of implementation of proposed methodology, commercial and societical are also included here.
