E-Waste Unplugged: Reviewing Impacts, Valorization Strategies and Regulatory Frontiers for Efficient E-Waste Management

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Augmented consumerism has propelled electronic innovation, leading to unprecedented growth in e-waste. Mishandling of e-waste poses environmental and human health hazards that necessitate a review of existing technologies and regulatory frameworks for effective e-waste management. Over the years, advancements in e-waste treatment technologies have addressed challenges uncovered in conventional e-waste treatment methods. This review comprehensively discusses valorization, regulations, and the environmental and health hazards imposed by e-waste mismanagement. The review adopted the novel VIRE framework to justify the research question and followed PRISMA analysis to filter the research basket. This study highlights that progressive policy frameworks are less efficient until inhibiting factors for successful implementation are addressed, especially in developing countries. The informal sector dominates in impeding the successful implementation of e-waste regulations, requiring integration with the formal sector as an initiative to reduce unlawful e-waste handling. Moreover, e-waste holds significant potential for economic value through precious metal recovery. An integrated approach of thermal techniques followed by bioleaching could be a cost-effective alternative for enhanced metal recovery from e-waste. There exists ample opportunity for further advancement in treatment technologies through the integration of discrete techniques, reframing regulatory frameworks to minimize unauthorized processing, and cooperative international agreements for collective action on sustainable e-waste management.
