Abstract

The unpredictable chemical components of e-waste pave the way to have severe impacts on ecosystems and human health. Electronic waste (e-waste) has been becoming a potential threat to live in a conducive environment for mankind. The basic cause for concern for this incessant e-waste seems to be the rapidly changing advanced technologies and low production cost. This chapter analyses to what extent e-waste is creating panic for sustainable societies and addressing sustainable development goals. To fulfil it, the researchers conducted an extensive literature review to muster frame of mind from relevant disciplines and did content analysis of the reports pertaining to e-waste and sustainability published at multiple digital platforms. To reduce the exorbitant amount of e-waste, e-waste management methods (recycling, etc.) are of utmost importance. Technically speaking, the developed countries are the main source of e-product production and e-waste generation.
