Abstract

There are a number of definitions of electronic wastes (or e-waste), which is also known as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (EU 2002; Puckett and Smith 2002; Electronic Recyclers International 2006; Wong et al. 2007a). For the purpose of this chapter, e-waste will be defined as consisting of old, end-of-life electronic devices such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, computers, computer peripherals, and mobile phones that original users no longer want because they are obsolete or irreparable.
