Electrical and electronic waste shall comprise electrical and electrical equipment which is discarded as waste intentionally. Informal recycling in smaller, unorganized enterprises can lead to serious chemical hazards for the workers and communities. It is not clear whether formalization into larger, better controlled recycling (e-recycling) systems can solve environmental and health problems at work.
The manufacturing industries in computer and electronics sector produce products which are subsequently recycled by industry operators. When sales are higher, more electronic products are manufactured and placed on the market, the stockpiles of recycled electronics increase and industry demand increase. Electric waste can be dangerous for both the environment and all livelihoods in the long run. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to recycle these e-wastes.
