Integration of electronic waste management: a review of current global generation, health impact, and technologies for value recovery and its pertinent management technique.

The fast evolution of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has developed into a prime environmental perturb in recent days. Today, electrical and electronic products merely become a needed part of people life's and professional lives. The whole process of e-waste contains an organized collection system, appropriate dismantling, and its treatment of recycling. The unparalleled hastening of e-waste and unceremonious discarding lead to an adverse impact on a country's development. Currently, challenges in e-waste have a lack of practical aid, poor structure, and insufficient economic support. Several legislations have been imposed which aim to enhance the handling of e-waste. Operative management of e-waste is now essential for the protective atmosphere and human beings as well. This article provides the systemic flow of the e-waste definition, global information, and generation of e-waste and composition of e-waste which were discussed. The study categorized the hazardous effect of e-waste on human beings, and the content analysis of e-waste in recent LCA applications was highlighted. Further different metal extraction and recovery techniques from e-waste have been reviewed. A few sets of current practices and some recommendations on a global scale level were provided. Finally, based on analysis, some approaches to e-waste was accomplished, and equitable environmental management was taken into account to identify the future outlook areas.
