Putting an end to the crisis

Although e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world, it still receives too little attention in management. However, tackling the problem requires more than just technical solutions. According to researchers at the University of Nevada, a combination of cost-effective chemical recycling technologies and forward-looking policy reforms for the effective management and reduction of e-waste is the solution. In the report "Exploring the e-waste crisis: strategies for sustainable recycling and circular economy integration", which has been published in Recycling, they present their approach.
