Abstract

The electronic industry is the world‘s largest and fastest growing manufacturing industry. Electronic waste is informally known as e-waste for the electronic products nearing the end of their useful life. This is largely due to increasing market penetration of products in developing countries, development of a replacement market in developed countries and a generally high product obsolescence rate, together with a decrease in prices and the growth in internet use. Electrical and Electronic waste (e-waste) is defined as any discarded, obsolete, or broken electrical or electronic devices.
