About this listen

E-waste management is an urgent global challenge in our rapidly advancing technological era. As electronic devices become obsolete at an alarming rate, the proper handling and disposal of electronic waste are crucial. E-waste contains toxic materials that pose significant environmental and health risks if mishandled. Effective e-waste management involves various strategies such as recycling, refurbishment, and responsible disposal. Recycling allows valuable materials to be recovered, reducing the need for resource extraction. Refurbishment and reuse initiatives help extend the lifespan of electronic devices, minimising the overall waste generated. Implementing strict regulations, raising awareness, and promoting sustainable practices are essential steps towards efficient e-waste management for a greener future.
