Revising the Electronics Revolution: From E-Wasteland to E-Wonderland

The trend of global demand for consumer electronic products has been increasing steadily for the three past decades. This phenomenon is accompanied by the equally unsustainable upward trajectory of the accumulation of toxic electronic waste (e-waste), leading to rampant environmental pollution, adverse human health impacts, and unquenched industry demand for virgin materials that may be acquired from unsustainable and sometimes illicit mining operations.
