摘要：Electronics Waste or E-waste is a collective name for discarded electronic devices that enter the waste stream or nearing the end of their “useful life”. It consists of obsolete electronic devices such as computers, monitors and display devices, telecommunication devices such as cellular phones, calculators, audio and video devices, printers, scanners, copiers and fax machines besides household equipments such as refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions and washing machines. The biggest concern with E-Waste is the presence of toxic materials such as lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic, toxic flame-retardants, printer cartridge inks and toners that pose significant health risks. Recycling and reuse of materials are potential options to reduce e-waste. Recovery of metals, plastic, glass and other materials reduces the magnitude of e-waste. E-waste contains plenty of precious materials like gold, copper, nickel, aluminum, tin etc. These materials have reasonable price in the market that makes recycling beneficial for stakeholders.
