An Overview of Electronic Waste Management, Practices and Impending Challenges

and telecommunication technology (ICT) has penetrated deep into the human lives and is affecting human life style in different aspects. The rapid growth in ICT has embarked improvement in computing devices simultaneously decreasing product life and resulting in e-waste. This study examines various issues and challenges being faced by different countries in e-waste management. We will analyse what the legislations for e-waste management are and how they should be implemented in order to eliminate this issue.
