Abstract in brief

  • E-waste, which includes discarded electrical and electronic devices, is a rapidly growing global issue, often recycled informally in unsafe conditions that pose serious health risks, especially to women and children.
  • The amount of e-waste generated is increasing due to illegal exports and improper donations, with only about 25% being processed in regulated facilities that ensure worker safety, leading to environmental contamination and health problems.
  • Effective policies exist to protect vulnerable populations from unsafe e-waste recycling, but they are poorly enforced, and recycling should be conducted safely with stricter standards, particularly to protect children and improve occupational conditions for workers.
