Study and Comparison of E-waste Disposal Solutions

Growth in technology enhances need and utilization of electronic and electrical equipment’s (EEE) everywhere in the world. As a result, e-waste acquires a large share in the conventional solid waste stream. Limited recycling solutions available pushes the need for e-waste disposal solutions. The paper highlights the increasing e-waste pie in solid waste. Various disposal solutions available for ewaste are presented in the paper. A comparison of various disposal solutions done on the basis of parameters like disposal capacity, harm to the environment and its resources, cost and time constraints analysis is mentioned in the paper. Landfill dumping solution is most accepted, proving out to be best among all solutions by acting as a reserve to be recovered in future with the development of more recycling facilities Keywords— EEE, EPR, E-Waste, Leachate, RCRA.
