Abstract

We review the type of toxic substances that exist in e-waste, their impact on environment, health of human beings, and management approaches that are being used to manage e-waste in some developed countries. Several tools like Material Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), and Flow Analysis (MFA) are being used for the management of e-waste in developed countries. Multiple tools working together coherently are required to resolve the e-waste problem.
