What are the Regulatory Frameworks for E-Waste Management?
Several countries have implemented regulatory frameworks to manage e-waste effectively. For example, the European Union's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive mandates the recycling and proper disposal of e-waste. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides guidelines and regulations for e-waste management. These frameworks aim to minimize the environmental and health impacts of e-waste through proper handling and disposal practices.
