E-waste recycling is the process of recycling used electrical and electronic equipment such as laptops, televisions, computers, air conditioners, mobile phones, DVDs, ovens, etc. The purpose of e-waste recycling is to reduce the environmental impact and safely recycle the raw material. materials such as glass, plastic, metal and mercury, and recycle these mined materials and equipment.
Efficient management of electronic waste is crucial, especially in cities, which are expected to produce the majority of e-waste in the coming years. To address this issue, it is important to Increase collection and recycling rates and reduce the amount of e-waste that ends up in landfills. The development of smart cities and the use of information and communication technology for waste management offer new and interesting prospects for effective e-waste management.
Increasing urbanization, industrialization, and high discretionary Income have contributed to the rise in the usage of electrical and electronic equipment, resulting in a significant Increase in e-scrap. Unfortunately, over 60% of the total e-waste generated is not recycled and is either illegally exported or dumped in landfills. This presents an opportunity for the e-scrap recycling market to Increase its market share and improve its operations.

Executive Summary
According to a new report, titled, 'E Scrap Recycling Market,' The e scrap recycling market was valued at $25.91 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $96.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2023 to 2032.Electronic scrap, or e scrap, is generated from broken, obsolete, or surplus electronic devices. These electronics often contain hazardous materials and toxic chemicals, and improper disposal of them can lead to the release of these substances into the environment. E scrap recycling is a process that seeks to recover materials from electronic waste and reuse them in new electronic products. This is crucial because electronics have a short useful life and become electronic waste at a rapid pace.
E scrap can come in the form of home appliances such as air conditioners, televisions, electric cookers, heaters, DVDs, fans, microwaves, and radios. It can also come in the form of information tech equipment such as computers, laptops, mobile phones, batteries, hard disks, circuit boards, and monitors. Recycling e scrap is a growing trend that aims to protect human and environmental health, mainly due to the widespread environmental pollution impacts of e scrap.
E scrap recycling is the process of reusing and reprocessing any type of electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded or deemed obsolete. This trend was initiated to protect human and environmental health mainly due to the widespread environmental pollution impacts of e scrap. Shockingly, only 12.5% of e scrap is recycled, and most electronics end up wasting away in landfills after reaching the end of their lifespan. Therefore, e scrap recycling remains a crucial issue that requires more attention and action to reduce the environmental and health risks associated with electronic waste.
The market for electronic scrap recycling is rapidly growing due to the rising demand for energy conservation and reducing the burden on mining ores for primary metals. This is because recycling e scrap is crucial in recovering various metals and saving energy. Additionally, e scrap contains precious metals that can be extracted, making it an essential resource for reducing the reliance on primary ores. Growing initiatives by electronic products manufacturer for e scrap recycling is one of the emerging trends in the industry and this ongoing trend is projected to escalate the market growth.
However, the market growth of electronic scrap recycling may face limitations due to the absence of integrated smelting and refining facilities in emerging regions, as well as the need for advanced technology and high maintenance requirements.
Nevertheless, the market for electronic scrap recycling is witnessing a new trend, as there is a rise in the trans-boundary movement of e scrap. This is happening due to the growing realization of the worth of precious metals, which has led to the implementation of advanced tracking systems like phone trackers, international traces, and Basel Action Network (BAN) deployed traces. This development is expected to promote market growth in the future, as the use of these high-end tracking systems will provide better traceability and transparency in the recycling process.
