Open full text 6 citations

Abstract

Abstract Electronic waste, or e-waste, is one of the fastest-growing household waste flows. This is due to the raising popularity of electronic devices and ICT in human life coupled with their rapid obsolescence, which means that not only broken, but also fully intact devices quickly become useless. Electronic devices turn into waste while still usable because they no longer meet consumer requirements.
