Abstract

This chapter delves into the complexities and recommendations associated with the management of electronic waste, paving the way for a transition towards a circular economy. It underscores the significance of adopting sustainable practices, including eco-friendly product designs, extended producer responsibility, recycling, and remanufacturing. Several challenges are identified, such as the scarcity of data regarding material concentrations in specific electronic equipment and the absence of universally applicable standard methods for evaluating elemental concentrations in e-waste. The chapter underscores the value of integrating technical support and financial incentives to bolster e-waste management efforts. Furthermore, it highlights the pivotal roles played by the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and government bodies in the effective implementation of these strategies. Collaboration between businesses, governments, and consumers is underscored as essential for establishing a robust circular economy.
