Electronic waste (E-waste) is one of the fastest growing wastes streams in the country. Growth of information and communication technology sector has enhanced the usage of the electronic equipment exponentially. The unconventional disposal of electronic equipment generates toxicity of high levels toxic dust found on computer monitors have certain chemicals which are found to be harmful to the reproductive system and may also is a cause for neurological disorders. E-waste is growing in India at a rate of 10%. The paper entitled “A Comprehensive Study and Analysis of E-waste Management using Cluster Techniques” is a survey of electronic waste in India. In this paper, four different stages were used. The first stage describes the different sources of the e-waste, the second stage describes the toxic elements in different sources of e-waste, the third stage deals with the health and environmental problems of the toxic element and fourth stage deals with state wise e-waste generation in India. There is a strong need for analyzing the e-waste in different manners. There are various clustering algorithms for analyzing e-waste. This paper deals with three kinds of algorithms – k means clustering, Partition Around Medoids (PAM) clustering and hierarchical clustering. The performance parameters like APN, AND, AD and FOM are used to evaluate the clustering validity. The implementation is done using the R programming language.
