The survey was carried out in a database of English-written research articles, review articles, book chapter, book review, editorials, mini reviews, short communications, and conference abstracts. The analyzed period ranges from 2000 to June 2022. The terms used in the searches “WEEE”, “e-waste”, and “electronic waste” were each independently combined with the following terms: “Management”, “Circular Economy”, “End-of-Life”, and “Recycling”.
