E waste recycling is a big challenge

The rapid pace of technological change in the field of electronics has made appliances for homes and office equipment both affordable and widely used. The extreme growth and ever increasing obsolescence rates result in large quantities of electrical and electronic equipment being added to the waste stream. Electronic Waste, also known as ‘E waste’ is a term used for waste generated when electronics like computers, monitors, hard drives, copiers, printers, fax machines, mobile phones, telephones and even televisions are discarded. While there is no generally accepted definition of electronic waste, in most cases electronic waste consists of electronic products that were used for data processing, telecommunications, or entertainment in private households and businesses that are now considered obsolete, broken, or irreparable.
