520 # # |a Electronic waste management includes computers, mobile phones and entertainment equipment: items which are simply discarded as new technologies become available. Electronic waste contains toxic and carcinogenic compounds, which can pose a risk to the environment. However, if handled correctly, electronic waste presents a valuable source of secondary raw materials. The European Union has implemented the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive (WEEE Directive) to tackle this growing problem. This book discusses the directive and examines current legislation in the USA and other parts of the world, considering the opportunities and threat posed by this form of waste.
