Evolution of the E-Waste Industry
The e-waste industry began with the emergence of electronic products like TVs in the mid-20th century, leading to a growing problem of electronic waste disposal. Regulations were introduced in the mid-1970s to address the flow of e-waste to less developed countries. The Basel Convention of 1989 further aimed to stop this flow, marking a significant milestone in managing e-waste globally. Today, the industry continues to evolve alongside technological advancements, with a focus on responsible recycling and reuse.
