dc.description.abstractIn the current era of rising consumerism and information technology, e-waste has emerged as a serious problem besides plastic pollution. The rising concern for e-waste has both economic, environmental and health consequences. It is observed that wealthy nations with advanced technology dump their electronic waste disproportionately in developing nations. The management and recycling of waste in these developing countries is mostly carried out in informal sector, where workers (both adults and children) are exposed to health hazards. Further, the sound management practices, if not employed properly, are a cause of environmental concern. The present study attempts to throw some light on India�s issues in managing e-waste, the techniques available for e-waste management and legislations and international efforts in combating the menace of e-waste. � The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023, corrected publication 2023.en_US
