Strategies for Managing Electronic Waste: A Systematic Review of Literature

Over the past two decades, the global market for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has experienced enormous expansion, and it is predicted that this growth will continue in the years to come. The fact that these products are winding up in landfills and recycling facilities presents lawmakers with a new hazard. To identify e-waste (Electronic waste) management strategies, this paper will conduct a systematic review of literature. The study uses the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis) and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses)framework for the systematic review of literature along with VOS viewer software which helps in creating a map based on text and bibliographic data and NVivo for creating a word cloud. Under the SALSA framework, SLR (Systematic Literature Review)is carried out in 4 steps.While in PRISMA studies are evaluated at four levels.The research paper concludes that rules and regulations, take -back programs, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility), reuse, repair, recycle, reducing, green computing, and registered e -waste collectors as the efficient strategies for the management of e-waste, and the same is represented through a model. This paper is used for future research.
