Electronic waste is increasing all around the world across all countries with rapid urbanization and increasing use of modern technology as well as telecommunication systems. Average lifecycle of electronic gadgets has decreased and in case of mobiles this lifespan is less than two years. On an average mobile phones are replaced in eighteen months. Different strategies are being adopted by different groups to tackle this menace of electronic waste. Generally, precious metals and other reusable components are segregated from these wastes. The remaining materials are mostly plastics and its different forms like in printed circuit boards, cabinets etc. Disposal of these materials is crucial as they are not bio degradable. Using these materials in different types of products may help in effectively managing electronic waste. Non fibrous non metallic materials from these electronic waste leftovers may be moulded into small chips and may be used as filler for different products. An overview of different procedures to tackle electronic waste is discussed in the paper.
