Abstract: The electronic devices that are targeted to the end users have become day to day essential parts. Traditional methodologies have changed drastically resulting in efficient mode of communication and fast information retrieval. As the demand and the production are exponentially growing, patterns of sales, storage and their destruction and then again, their collection have also been changed. This paper analyses many such behaviors of (electronic) waste management and recommends solutions like recycling management, different directives and policies required to be followed. Authors have emphasized on providing substantial information that can be useful to the regulating authorities responsible for waste management or the manufacturers of various electronic products and then the policy makers. With an extensive review of electronic wastages, authors have emphasized three variables (sales, stock and lifespan) for replacing/upgrading the older products with advanced versions. The root causes of electronic wastages are found in industrializing countries like India, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, the Philippines, Ghana and Nigeria whereas industrialized countries also play equally important role for its generation. This paper signifies the importance of e-waste management practice to reduce the emerging electronic waste hazards. Authors focus on today’s demand of electronic devices, importance of e-waste management and management practices. The paper recommends key findings based on surveying data regarding the lack of regulation to manage the e-waste. The review concludes that the lack of regulation and improper awareness are the basic factors responsible for e-wastage and requires major focus to manage the e-waste.
