Introduction
Electronic waste management can be referred to as electronic materials that are no longer in use, for example; computers, mobile phones, electronic equipment’s that are found in the office, refrigerators among others (Kahhat et al. 2008). These types of electronic are in most cases kept away for reselling, reusing, for recycle purposes and at times they are scheduled for disposal (Kahhat et al. 2008). Other types of electronic waste usually include re-usable electronics that are thrown away by the consumers since they no longer have any use for them. The buyer dumps them if they have been used for over a long period of time, and if they are recycled, the products obtained will be of no use at all (Song et al. 2015). In most …show more content…
Recovery and reuse – This method includes the aspects of ensuring that the electronics wastes are reduced by recycling them and making other products from them (Ahluwalia $ Nema, 2007). Various methods are used to ensure that the recycling process happens, for example; osmosis, condensation, centrifugation among others. Through this processes, the products obtained will of considerable assistance in obtaining the next best product (Ahluwalia $ Nema, 2007). iv. Sustainable product design –The designs that incorporate excessive hazardous materials should be redesigned and use the ones with the least (Li et al. 2015). This makes it possible to reduce the effects of the products after they are done with. In other cases, the use of materials containing renewable materials and energy is a good option since they have fewer residue effects (Li et al. 2015). Other than that, materials that are non-renewable but are safer could also help in implementing this process.

This may include donating the facilities to other places that do not have them, and would make use of them. It reduces the aspects of the wastes that is encountered. Various institutions like Toshiba offer money incentives to the consumers who have used the products entirely, and instead of dumping them they are taken by the company and used in the reproduction of other materials (Namias, 2013). This greatly helps in reduction of the e-waste in the economy and people are keener on where they dump their used electronics. Re-using involves the process of ensuring that the electronics are not just thrown away for any reasons but are regularly re-used to help in improvement of the economy at large since unnecessary costs are reduced. These aspects of reusing are mostly practised by non-governmental organizations who are more concerned about the wellbeing of the people in general. Lobbying includes the activists who are always requesting the government to help in maintaining the electronics that are to be recycled and make the process easier for its citizens (Kiddee, Naidu $ Wong, 2013).The processes involved are delicate and require a better understanding of the methods that are behind successful implementation of the recycle
