S. Mahima

Abstract :

E–waste comprises of wastes generated from used electronic devices and household appliances which are not fit for their original intended use and are destined for recovery, recycling or disposal. . The environmentally sound management is needed to solve the problems related to the electronic waste. . The use of environmentally sound technologies needs to be encouraged in order to increase efficiency in processes, maximize recovery of materials and conserve energy subsequently reducing waste generation. This study focuses on the major environmentally sound management of electronic waste.
