Management of Computer and Electronic Waste through the Fifth Industrial Revolution for the Cleaner Environment

One major effect of the fifth industrial revolution (5IR) on our lives is the increase of electronic garbage (e-waste). To lessen detrimental effects on the environment and public health, ewaste needs to be treated appropriately. This study reveals how computer and electronic trash can be managed utilizing the 5IR. A literature review was conducted in order to get more knowledge about the potentially hazardous components of e-waste and their effects, the financial advantages of recycling e-waste, and international best practices for efficient e-waste management and forecasting. The results show that a complementary strategy is needed for the best potential e-waste management outcomes. Both technological and policy initiatives should be a part of this strategy. Developing innovative technologies for recycling e-waste and enhancing the current recycling infrastructure are examples of technical measures. Policy initiatives include things like putting laws into place to ensure that e-waste is disposed of securely and supporting public awareness campaigns to educate people about the importance of recycling e-waste. In order to guarantee efficient monitoring and sustainable development, this paper highlights the significance of formal gathering and documentation. E-waste management initiatives can be evaluated for efficacy and the flow of e-waste can be tracked with the aid of formal collection and recording systems. In order to overcome the difficulties associated with managing electronic trash, it was finally resolved by stressing the significance of cooperation between business, government, and civil society. By managing electronic waste sustainably and effectively, we can create a more equitable and sustainable future for everybody.
