Breaking down Barriers to Sustainability: A Review from E-Waste Recycling Management Perspective

Abstract:
The rapid advancements in technology have improved efficiency and connectivity but have also led to a surge in electronic waste (e-waste), causing significant sustainability challenges. This essay reviews the worsening global e-waste crisis, examining the factors contributing to its growth, including rapid technological innovation, shortened product lifecycles, and inadequate recycling infrastructure. It highlights the environmental and health hazards posed by improperly managed e-waste and emphasizes the need for sustainable solutions, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), circular economy practices, and technological innovations like blockchain. A collaborative approach among governments, industry, and public communities is essential to address these challenges and ensure a sustainable future.
