The term 'e-waste' refers to electronic waste, which encompasses discarded electronic devices and components. This includes everything from old computers, smartphones, and televisions to batteries and circuit boards. E-waste poses significant environmental challenges due to potentially hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury, that can contaminate soil and water. Proper disposal and recycling of e-waste are essential to mitigate these risks, recycle valuable materials, and promote sustainable practices in technology consumption.
