Abstract
From last two-three decades, the global market of industrial and electronic equipment is changed and continues to grow exponentially all over the world. With these grows, electrical and electronic waste management is growing in same manner. Developing countries face tremendous problem which are related to the generation and management of E-Waste which are either from import or export illegally. There are a large number of harmful materials which containing toxic substances that can have an adverse impact on health and the environment. It is the global problem; if it is not handled decently within time; then the global world is affected. In India, E-Waste management presumes the major problem.
