Abstract :

This negative impact can be made into a positive one by employing people for recycling of e–waste in a well organized manner, and reusing the junk, by extracting the useful resources and creating profit from it. This paper ings forth major steps required to be taken to take the charge of e–waste. How and what all resources can be ought out from e–waste to use. Also, it would help in employment of many unemployed. This paper talks about the potential of e–waste as a business; need to enforce laws which inhibit the use of toxic substances, written from both environmental friendly and social point of view.
