Abstract
There is a revolution in the field of material science and information technology. The whole world has become a global village due to the distribution of technology all around the globe. Electronic products have been welcoming to everyone as cheap and updated versions are being introduced day by day. People are enjoying the perks of being modernized due to technology, but at the same time, it is creating drastic effects as disposal of electronic waste has become a major challenge these days. All countries are trying to find new ways to dispose of e-waste because burning would create incurable environmental pollution. In this chapter, we will study the techniques which are being used by developing and developed countries to dispose of e-waste.
