= Electronic waste = Electronic trash encompasses a wide range of electrical and electronic gadgets that have outlived their usefulness or are no longer serving their original purpose. Both "white goods" like fridges, washers and dryers, and microwaves, as well as "brown things" like, radios, computers, and cellphones, have reached the end of their useful lives owing to replication, modification, or breakdown.. Because the data communication technology revolution has expanded the usage of new electronic equipment exponentially, it has also resulted in a growth in the number of outmoded items; e-waste is one of the quickest waste streams. Even while e-waste contains complex mixes of very poisonous substances that are harmful to human health and the environment, many of the objects also contain valuable materials that may be recovered. E-waste accounts for more than 5% of all solid waste generated garbage globally, and it is growing in tandem with the surge in electronic product sales in emerging nations. The bulk of e-waste is reprocessed in underdeveloped nations, where illegal and dangerous metal extraction and selling operations are frequent. Due to stringent environmental rules and rising garbage disposal expenses, recycling businesses in rich nations may find that exporting to small merchants in developing countries is more cost-effective than recovering in their own country. There is also extensive unlawful transboundary e-waste migration in the guise of contributions and charities from developed countries to underdeveloped countries. E-waste profiteers may reap big profits due to lax environmental legislation, dishonest officials, and poorly paid staff, and there is an essential need for methods and strategies to proper disposal of and recycling e-waste in order to establish a sustainable future.

Effect on health
The intricate nature of e-waste, as well as its improper management, endangers human health. An increasing amount of clinical and epidemiological research has raised concerns about the potential hazard of e-waste to public health, particularly in emerging nations like India and China. Unregulated yard operators (e.g., the private economy) employ crude ways to recover, reprocess, and recycle e-waste materials, exposing workers to a variety of dangerous compounds. Processes include disassembling equipment, chemical solution processing, and cremation are utilized, resulting in direct chemical exposure and inhalation. In terms of health risks, combustion of printed circuit boards, for example, raises dioxin levels in the surrounding environment. If employees and nearby residents breath these chemicals, they are more likely to get cancer. During the laborious extract and storage of small amounts of precious metals, toxic materials and poison can enter the bloodstream, and employees are constantly exposed to dangerous chemicals and vapors of extremely concentrated chemicals. Burning insulated wires to recover resalable copper causes neurological problems, and acute exposure to heavy metals, which is contained in transistors and chip resistors, can harm the kidneys and liver, as well as induce bone loss.

Effect on environment
Although electronics have become an indispensable element of daily life, their negative impacts on the environment must not be neglected. During the manufacture, recycling, and disposal of these items, the contact among electrical and electronic products and the environment occurs. Environmental degradation is caused by the release of odors, gases, and particulates into the air, the discharge of liquid waste into sewerage and sewage systems, and the dumping of hazardous wastes. In addition to stricter e-waste recycling and disposal regulations, policies that extend the duty of all stakeholders, notably manufacturers, further than the point of sale and up towards the end of product life are required.
