About this ebook

As the world becomes dependent on digital technology, discarded electronics increase, creating e-waste that threatens environmental and human health. Traditional recycling systems struggle to keep pace with the complexity and volume of devices, many of which contain hazardous materials and recoverable resources. Harnessing smart recycling, powered by advanced technologies such as AI-driven sorting, IoT-enabled tracking, and data analytics, transforms sustainable e-waste management. By improving collection efficiency, enhancing material recovery, and promoting circular economic practices, smart recycling systems can reduce landfill burden, conserve raw materials, and accelerate a sustainable and resource-efficient future.

Harnessing Smart Recycling for Sustainable E-Waste Management explores contemporary e-waste management strategies, focusing on circular economy concepts and smart recycling technologies. It examines policy frameworks, industry practices, and emerging solutions to address the environmental and economic issues associated with e-waste. This book covers topics such as circular economics, environmental pollution, and smart cities, and is a useful resource for engineers, business owners, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
