Electronic devices pervade our lives creating a trend of high consumption, and ultimately high disposal. E-waste accounts as the fastest growing component of the municipal solid waste stream. Many challenges exist in the recovery, recycling and disposal of e-waste, especially to safeguard human health and the environment. With the emergence of e-waste, used in the production of counterfeit electronic components, there is a clear need for effective and sound management if we are to build a sustainable future.
