Abstract
Electronic and electrical waste or e-waste is rapidly emerging as a leading waste category, constituting approximately 8% of municipal waste. In 2019, around 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste were generated. Projections indicate a surge up to nearly 74 million metric tons of e-waste by 2030. Recycling and recovery of metals and other constituents from e-waste have become pivotal issues, raising significant environmental and socioeconomic concerns.
期刊介绍:
First published in 1995, the journal Environmental Research, Engineering and Management (EREM) is an international multidisciplinary journal designed to serve as a roadmap for understanding complex issues and debates of sustainable development. EREM publishes peer-reviewed scientific papers which cover research in the fields of environmental science, engineering (pollution prevention, resource efficiency), management, energy (renewables), agricultural and biological sciences, and social sciences. EREM’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: environmental research, ecological monitoring, and climate change; environmental pollution – impact assessment, mitigation, and prevention; environmental engineering, sustainable production, and eco innovations; environmental management, strategy, standards, social responsibility; environmental economics, policy, and law; sustainable consumption and education.
