Abstract EN

Over the recent past, the global market of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has grown exponentially, while the lifespan of these products has become increasingly shorter.

More of these products are ending up in rubbish dumps and recycling centers, posing a new challenge to policy makers.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the e-Waste problem and to put forward an estimation technique to calculate the growth of e-Waste.
