E-waste is electronic waste that includes items such as computers, printers, televisions, VCRs, and cell phones. This type of waste is harmful to the environment because it contains toxic chemicals that can leach into the soil and contaminate groundwater. E-waste also takes up a lot of space in landfills.
Some of the emerging trends in E-Waste include the use of sensors and other electronics to track waste, the development of new recycling methods, and the use of E-Waste as a resource for new materials.
