Solution

Electronic Wastes or e-wastes are produced from irreparable electronic items such as a computer, mobile phones, laptops etc. They're disposed-off by incinerating or burying in landfills. However, these two methods produce toxic substances which can potentially pollute air through incinerators and the soil and water bodies due to leaching from burial grounds or landfills.
A solution for e-waste treatment popularly includes its recycling.
