Due to rapid advancement in technology, many electronic products are getting obsolete within a short period of time and creating large amounts of unwanted electronic products or e-waste. Lack of awareness about the destructive hazards of reckless using and discarding of e-waste, leads to pollution and deterioration of the environment, resulting in chronic ailments. E-waste is an alarming issue if, we do not pay attention to e-waste problems and take corrective actions. Awareness is the key to gain knowledge, which in turn, creates a better tomorrow.
