Electronics End-Of-Life Strategy Guide

The exponential growth in electronic device consumption worldwide has led to a significant increase in electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste contains hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame-retardant chemicals that can be harmful to the environment if not properly managed.

Disposing of e-waste in landfills or via incineration can result in the release of toxic materials into soil, water, and the air, polluting ecosystems and posing risks to human health. An end-of-life (EOL) strategy ensures that e-waste is managed in an environmentally responsible manner and minimises its negative impact on the environment.
