Electronic waste recycling, or e-waste recycling, refers to the process of collecting, disassembling, and processing discarded electronic devices to recover valuable materials while minimizing environmental impact. The recycling process begins with the collection of e-waste from various sources, followed by sorting and dismantling to extract metals (such as gold, silver, and copper), plastics, and glass. These materials are then processed for reuse in manufacturing new products, contributing to a circular economy. The e-waste recycling plays a crucial role in preventing hazardous substances present in e-waste from contaminating the environment, thereby promoting responsible disposal practices and resource recovery.
