| Abstract | Smart Cities is a new torrent and its concept is evolved to benefit people in different ways by providing solutions to many problems. We are racing to achieve the goal of Smart Cities and completely ignoring the perilous consequences. Out of many, one of the gigantic problems is E-waste. E-waste is growing day by day jeopardizing the environment and in turn Sustainable Development. E-waste contains many elements like mercury, lead which are toxic to humans, water, air and soil which lead to another set of serious problems. There is an urgent need to look into this matter and resolve it as expeditiously as possible. To achieve Sustainable Development, we need to get rid of E-waste in the most efficient way possible. In this chapter, we will discuss various problems caused by e-waste and approaches to manage E-waste by applying Smart Technologies. We have also proposed a model for handling e-waste. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
