What’s E-Waste? | TrashLab Glossary
Discover e-waste management and disposal best practices. TrashLab’s software tracks and manages electronic waste streams efficiently.
E-waste refers to discarded electronic devices and equipment, such as computers, smartphones, televisions, and batteries. Due to the presence of hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, e-waste requires specialized handling and disposal to prevent environmental contamination. Recycling e-waste not only prevents pollution but also recovers valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper, reducing the need for new resource extraction.
Proper e-waste management involves collection, dismantling, sorting, and recycling processes to safely extract reusable materials while disposing of hazardous substances responsibly. With the rapid growth of technology, e-waste management has become essential to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable use of electronic resources.
