Abstract
E-waste management is becoming more complex as society's reliance on technology grows. Due to the effects on the environment and human health, proper disposal is essential. Through systematic review of 25 articles using PRISMA methodology, this paper explores the e-waste challenges in Sabah, Malaysia. The study discovered that among the challenges are things like poor infrastructure, informal recycling, and little knowledge and awareness. This discovery offers insightful information that will help stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and researchers, develop sustainable solutions to the e-waste problems in Sabah in particular.
