Description

The project work for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 12 emphasizes the challenges of managing e-waste as technology becomes increasingly integral to daily life. Frequent updates of electronic devices, from smartphones to electric vehicles, exacerbate the e-waste problem, particularly due to the environmental impact and recyclability of batteries and solar panels. Effective e-waste management requires new strategies such as increasing collection points, implementing new tracking systems, education, and strengthening legislation. These approaches enhance traceability, improve recycling efficiency, and promote sustainable practices. By adopting these measures, we can better manage e-waste and reduce the environmental impact.
