Sustainable Management of Electronic Waste

SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC WASTE

Written and edited by a group of industry professionals, this new volume provides cutting-edge insights into how the sustainability of managing electronic waste can be achieved, for engineers, scientists, and students.

As a result of the rapid advancement of technology and the globalization of the economy, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) management has become increasingly important. Manufacturers are especially concerned about the proper disposal of their waste, and researchers need to identify the obstacles and enablers that stand in the way of implementing a long-term WEEE management system in order to develop a long-term WEEE management system. Further, the literature did not adequately capture the perspectives of multiple stakeholders while also identifying the enablers required for the development of sustainable WEEE management policies, which was particularly important in developing countries.

This volume fills a gap in the literature by considering the perspectives of multiple stakeholders to identify enablers of sustainable WEEE management in emerging economies which was previously unexplored. This book focuses on the most recent technological advancements for the twenty-first century, emphasizing the synergies that exist between computer science, bioinformatics, and other sciences. The research and development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain technologies, quantum computing with cryptography, nanotechnology, sensors based on biotechnology, Internet of Things devices, nature-inspired algorithms, computer vision techniques, computational biology, and other topics are covered in this book, along with their applications in the fields of science, engineering, physical science, and economics. Modern environmental techniques are among the most innovative innovations emerging as a result of the insatiable demand for health standards in the modern world.
