The exponential advancement of technology, along with our demanding consumption habits, has ended up in an alarming growth in electronic waste (e-waste) creation, posing a severe environmental risk. This chapter highlights the environmental implications of e-waste as well as government attempts to promote responsible waste management, sustainable consumption, and separation of raw materials from these wastes. Dangerous chemicals, including Hg, Pb, and Cd, along with brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are released into the atmosphere during illegal disposal or informal recycling of e-waste, eventually building up in our ecosystem and disrupting the normal ecological cycle. It results in heavy metal contamination in the soil and water, emissions in the air, as well as negative impacts on human lives such as reproductive abnormalities and respiratory disease. The government policy like extended producer responsibility (EPR) implementation frameworks emphasize the collection and recycling systems and promote the sus-tainable waste management practices. EPR requires producers to take responsibility for their goods complete life cycle, including proper disposal and recycling. Collab-oration among governments, manufacturers, consumers, and recycling sectors is required to manage e-waste effectively. Thus, environmental risks can be reduced by adopting ecosystem-friendly practices in sustainable e-waste management and nurturing a circular economy.
