Electronic waste, which includes everything from refrigerators to
smartphones, is one of the world's fastest growing waste streams.
Often these items are simply discarded as new technology becomes
available. A huge amount of electronic waste is generated globally
and currently only around 20% of it is recycled. The complex
mixture of materials and components within electronic waste makes
it difficult to manage and many of these components can pose
hazards to human health or the environment if not disposed of
carefully. There have been significant changes in the global
approach to electronic waste management and the legislation around
it since the publication of the first edition of Electronic Waste
Management. This new edition provides an updated overview across
the world as well as presenting new chapters on current issues in
recycling and management of this waste. This is an essential
reference not only for those working in recycling and waste
management, but also for those working in manufacturing and product
development who wish to consider the full lifecycle of their
products. It also provides valuable insights for policymakers
developing more environmentally sound and sustainable systems and
strategies for the management of electronic waste.
