E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to discarded electronic devices such as computers, TVs, phones, and appliances. Rapidly developing technologies and short product lifecycles result in huge amounts of e-waste. Many developing countries import e-waste from developed nations for recycling, but the toxic materials in electronics like lead and mercury can seep into the environment from improper disposal methods. E-waste recycling helps reduce pollution but also allows for reuse of valuable materials.
