E-waste: An overview on generation, collection, legislation and recycling practices

Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2017
Abstract E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world in terms of volume and its environmental impact on the planet. The existence of precious metals in the e-waste stream provides a major economic benefit for recycling industries but due to the presence of hazardous chemicals, a proper recycling technique is required prior to the

Forecasting E-Waste Generation Using NARNET

Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest-growing waste stream worldwide, posing environmental, economic, and health challenges. Despite containing valuable precious and rare metals, less than 22% of e-waste is recycled, worsening resource loss and pollution. This study estimates and forecasts Germany's e-waste generation from 1960 to 2040.
