Thank you for this comprehensive overview of the global e-waste challenge. Your summary clearly highlights the rapid growth of electronic waste, the serious health and environmental risks linked to improper disposal, and the pressing need for stronger regulations and safer recycling practices. The emphasis on supporting a circular economy, improving international oversight, and protecting vulnerable communities is especially important. These insights provide a valuable foundation for advancing more responsible and sustainable e-waste management worldwide.

Electronic waste (e-waste) is growing faster than any other waste type because people are constantly buying devices like phones and laptops. When this waste is thrown away improperly, it becomes dangerous e-waste contains many toxic chemicals that can leak into soil and water or pollute the air, harming both the environment and human health. Because of these risks, researchers worldwide have been paying more attention to how e-waste can be better managed or reused in safer and more sustainable ways.This overview explains what e-waste is made of, how it affects people and the environment when it is not disposed of correctly, and what practical solutions exist for improving e-waste management. It also looks at how electronics are produced, the global rise in demand, the mining activities required to supply raw materials, and the pollution that mining creates. In addition, it stresses the need for strong government regulations that manufacturers, waste generators, and recycling companies must follow.The ideas discussed here aim to guide future research and help identify opportunities for more efficient and responsible e-waste management that supports a circular economy and long-term sustainability.Recycling e-waste over 50 million metric tonnes each year worldwide has become a huge global operation. However, about 70–80% of this waste is not managed safely; instead, it is exported from wealthy countries to low-income nations, where it often ends up in landfills or is recycled informally. In these settings, recycling usually happens at dump sites or in small family-run workshops with almost no oversight. Workers may dismantle devices by hand, use hazardous chemicals, or burn components in open fires, releasing harmful pollutants that affect workers, their families, nearby communities, and the environment.This situation shows the urgent need for global responsibility, especially because people in poorer communities are suffering the most from unsafe e-waste practices. In contrast, formal recycling in industrialized countries happens on a smaller scale, but it is still unclear whether it poses fewer risks overall.The key goals discussed here are to examine current trends and threats in both informal and formal e-waste management, and to recommend practical steps for improvement. One important suggestion is the independent monitoring of compliance with international rules, such as the Basel Ban Amendment, which regulates e-waste trade and processing. The recycling industry also needs thorough evaluation by international organizations, manufacturers, and other stakeholders to develop safer methods. Moving toward fair and sustainable e-waste solutions would help conserve natural resources and protect both people and the environment from harmful impacts.
