E-waste refers to old, end-of-life electronic devices such as computers, TVs, cell phones and their components. It is growing rapidly due to the decreasing lifespan of electronics and lack of responsible disposal methods. E-waste contains hazardous materials like lead, cadmium and mercury that can harm the environment and human health if not disposed of properly. The best solutions are recycling and proper extraction of precious metals from e-waste to reduce environmental pollution.
