With the advancement in Science and Technology every next
second new electronic gadgets like mobile phones, tablets, I-pods,
note-book, LED TV, Plasma TV are launched and due to the
invention of these modern gadgets we have become slaves of
gadgets. As the demand of these electronic gadgets has been
continuously increasing the companies have increased the
production. But the problem arises when these gadgets stop working
and we need to dispose them off. The waste of these electronic
gadgets is referred to as the E-waste or the Electronic waste. The
growth of e-waste has significant economic and social impacts. The
increase of electrical and electronic products, consumption rates and
higher obsolescence rate leads to higher generation of e-waste. The
increasing obsolescence rate of electronic products also adds to the
huge import of used electronics products. E-wastes contain over
1000 different substances many of which are toxic and potentially
hazardous to environment and human health, if these are not
handled in an environmentally sound manner.
