E-wastes are generated from the disposed and discarded electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), such as ridges, digital cameras, dryers, computers, kettles, electrical components, televisions, tablets and washing machines. It contains various toxic substances and precious metals, including gold, mercury, platinum, cadmium, gallium, lead, silver, beryllium and indium. E-waste management refers to a process that involves recycling, disposing, reusing, and reselling of discarded electronic and electrical waste to refurbish them into valuable products. It assists in minimizing waste materials, protecting human and environmental health, saving landfill space, reducing pollution, carbon footprint, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and preventing natural resources from depletion.

E-Waste Management Market Trends:

Rapid expansion in the electronics industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Innovations in products and the launch of new devices has resulted in an upsurged sale of electronic devices. This has increased the disposal of old electronics, which, in turn, is supporting the market growth. In line with this, the rising environmental consciousness among consumers due to the harmful impact of growing waste volume, leading to adverse health hazards is positively impacting the market growth. Moreover, various technological advancements, such as the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to identify, sort and categorize waste immediately, are providing a thrust to the market growth. Additionally, the scarcity of precious metals like gold, platinum, silver, and indium are further facilitating the need for e-waste management for manufacturing new devices from these recycled components with reduced carbon footprint. This, in turn, is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of consumers to afford premium-priced electronic devices and the implementation of several government initiatives to increase awareness regarding the proper disposal of e-wastes, are anticipated to drive the market further toward growth.
