Abstract

E-waste, which is generated rapidly owing to technological advancements in information technology, has led to a significant rise in the utilization of electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones, headphones, and tablets. As these devices become outdated and less useful, they contribute to the growing volume of electronic waste and pose significant threats to the environment and human health. To mitigate the negative impacts of increasing global electronic waste (e-waste), it is crucial to implement proper e-waste management. However, these approaches require substantial labour and resources and are not considered perfect solutions. Fortunately, technological progress has provided new opportunities for more efficient e-waste management. Many countries are now exploring advanced methods, such as the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), to manage e-waste. However, they face various challenges when implementing these technologies. This study aimed to portray the current situation, emerging trends, and future of smart e-waste management.
