E-Waste Management

Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide. Effective e-waste management is crucial to reducing environmental harm, recovering valuable resources, and advancing the goals of a circular economy.

Why Is E-Waste Management Critical?

• ⚖️ Ensures Legal Compliance: Supports adherence to environmental regulations and safe disposal practices.

How to Handle E-Waste Responsibly
