E-waste pollutes natural resources (soil, air, surface/groundwater) directly as well as indirectly. Toxic chemicals released from e-waste are carcinogenic in nature and considered as health ...
Despite this surge, less than a quarter of the e-waste produced in 2022 was collected and recycled, leaving 62 billion U.S. dollars worth of recoverable resources unaccounted for and posing increased pollution risks to communities globally, it said. The report projects a further 33-percent incre...

With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. ...
Recycling e-waste recovers useful materials — including valuable metals such as gold or copper — that manufacturers can use to make new products. This reduces the energy required to mine, refine, and manufacture new materials and reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The Environmental Pro...
often hazardous to the biosphere. Melting down or incinerating electronic devices contributes to the increased presence of lead in landfills globally. Further, the emission of toxic fumes and gases is a leading factor in environmental degradation, climate change, pollution and contaminated water supply....
