摘要

E-waste management (EWM) is a global concern with numerous hurdles. Therefore, there is need of a framework that can be replicated in both developed and developing countries to effectively mitigate EWM challenges. However, the extant literature lacks such framework. The current study aims to fill this research gap. By employing a systematic literature review (SLR) approach thirty-three challenges were identified with 59 potential solutions to mitigate them. Further, stakeholders were mapped to the challenges and solutions to determine who is facing the EWM challenges and who can provide solution(s) for them. The findings show that the maximum challenges (7 out of 33) were technology related. Moreover, the maximum number of challenges (29 out of 33 challenges) are being faced by the recyclers. Thus, demonstrating the critical role played by recyclers towards effective EWM. The findings also show that the government is responsible for providing maximum number of solutions (29 out of 59 solutions) to overcome EWM challenges. The insights offered by the developed conceptual framework can be deployed by the different EWM stakeholders towards understanding of the challenges and the solutions towards EWM.
