There have been significant changes in the global approach to electronic waste management and the legislation around it since the publication of the first edition of Electronic Waste Management. This new edition provides an updated overview across the world as well as presenting new chapters on current issues in recycling and management of this waste.
This is an essential reference not only for those working in recycling and waste management, but also for those working in manufacturing and product development who wish to consider the full lifecycle of their products. It also provides valuable insights for policymakers developing more environmentally sound and sustainable systems and strategies for the management of electronic waste.
Reviews / Votes
Overall, this is an excellent and easily read text book on current state-of-the-art WEEE management. It is well written and is generally data-driven, using a myriad of contemporary references. The book should be an essential source of current information for all policy makers and anyone involved in the industry. * https://doi.org/10.1080/00202967.2020.1723255 *More details
