E-Waste Recycling and Management

Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or digital devices. Used electronics which can be destined for refurbishment, reuse, and resale, salvage recycling through material recovery, or disposal also are considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing nations can cause detrimental human health outcomes and environmental pollution. Electronic scrap components, which include CPUs, contain doubtlessly harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants. Recycling and disposal of e-waste may also involve full-size danger to fitness of people and communities in developed countries.

The European WEEE Directive classifies waste in ten categories: Large household appliances (including cooling and freezing appliances), Small family appliances, IT equipment (including monitors), Consumer electronics (inclusive of TVs), Lamps and Luminaires, Toys, Tools, Medical devices, Monitoring and control contraptions and Automatic dispensers. The term "waste" is reserved for residue or material which is dumped via the buyer in preference to recycled, consisting of residue from reuse and recycling operations, because masses of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non-recyclable). Several public coverage advocates apply the term "e-waste" and "e-scrap" widely to all surplus electronics. Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are considered one of the hardest sorts to recycle.
