Title	A Review on E-waste: Fostering the Need for Green Electronics
Year	2021
Published
Abstract	With rapid development in technology, electronic waste (e-waste) or Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) is an arising threat, posing serious contamination problems to mankind and the environment. The fundamental reason behind uncontrolled electronic waste around the world is the fast advancement of innovation and low production cost. Due to this, very large amounts of e-waste have to be discarded every year whose disposal is a major concern. To tackle this problem of e-waste, e-waste management methods like reducing and recycling play a vital role. These techniques also help in the establishment of a circular economy. This paper summarizes the statistics of e-waste generated worldwide, along with focusing on the benefits of recycling. It highlights the impact e-waste has on the environment and mankind and how green electronics could be one of the viable remedies to this.
