The growing volume of electronic waste has significant global implications, particularly due to advancements in technology, but increasing consumption and shortened life spans of products have made this an issue. Thus, all discarded electronics such as smartphones, computers, and appliances stood at more than 60 million metric tons e-waste in 2023, thereby raising more health, environmental, and economic concerns. Many toxic substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium, will threaten ecosystems and public health, especially in developing areas that depend on informal recycling. So they present both challenges and opportunities. With the use of improved recycling technology, circular economy concepts, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) procedures, e-waste management will lessen its negative effects and recover precious commodities including rare earth elements, copper, and gold. Thus, the recycling efficiency and recovery of resources are increased by such innovations as AI-powered sorting, automated disassembly, and sustainable product design. Policies including the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive and conventions such as Basel define the requirement for working on e-waste flows in a sustainable manner through international mechanisms. This paper presents global and regional trends, management strategies, and technological advancements in e-waste, with an emphasis on public awareness, policy reforms, and stakeholder collaboration. A comprehensive strategy for managing e-waste is necessary to achieve sustainable development while averting or reducing harm to the environment and human health.
