Electronic Waste and Sustainability- Perspective on the Rise of a Global threat

Abstract

Electronic waste is a growing worldwide danger to long-term development. The researchers examine the issues of electronic waste management, as well as the harm it does to the environment, human health. The goal of this research is to show that current global e-waste scenarios and health risks could delay the fulfilment of sustainable development goals. This study depicts scenarios from various perspectives, raises concerns about e-waste, identifies information gaps, and lays the groundwork for knowledge and awareness building, as well as technological advancement, to assist the world in achieving long-term sustainability. The researchers have put their observations, conducted interviews of the focus group (colleagues) and surveys. The research also discusses how comprehensive global e-waste management and legislation can help to mitigate e-waste risks and are the most effective way to achieve sustainable development.
