Abstract

Electronic waste or e-waste is one of the rapidly growing problems of the world. The production of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is one of the fastest growing global manufacturing activities. This development has resulted in an increase of waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Rapid economic growth, coupled with urbanization and growing demand for consumer goods, has increased both the consumption of EEE and the production of WEEE, which can be a source of hazardous wastes that pose a risk to the environment and to sustainable economic growth. Developed countries export this WEEE to developing countries like china and India where this environmental burden is born by people living here. This study focuses on generation of e-waste in India and Globally, substances causing e-waste, recycle, reuse and recovery of the same.
