currently using the technique for residual waste, but for the disposed
Electronic- waste, suitable techniques need to be imposed as landfill and
incineration are found to release toxin leachate and air pollution that creates
negative impact to our environment.
Collection outside the take-back system – In this scenario countries are divided
based on the waste management procedure they follow which is developed
and undeveloped. In a developed waste management system, Electronicwaste which is collected by the individual dealers is accounted, and the
Electronic-waste end up locations such as metal recycling; plastic recycling is
explored, and the information is not reported to the official take-back system
to avoid double counting. In undeveloped countries, the process such as local
dumping, export, and recovery of value-added substance is done. Fig. 11.2
