Abstract

There are numerous electrical devices used daily. Whether we do it knowingly or unknowingly, we always appreciate how much easier life is as a result. But as we all know that everything nice eventually comes to an end, these gadgets inevitably stop working and are wasted. One of them claims that electronic garbage, or “E-waste”, is a global issue that is only becoming worse. A significant buildup of e-waste is caused by the advent of newer technology and the exponential growth of electronic consumption. For effective e-waste management, there is a need for a tool that both individuals and companies can use. Thus, the term “e-waste” is considered. In this study, we will see a brief study of how the world deals with this electronic waste problem. And how does the world analyze this waste? And help our earth become a better place in various ways.
