Introduction: Electronic waste (e-waste) has emerged as a global concern due to the exponential growth in electronic consumption and inadequate disposal practices, specifically developing countries. Among various dimensions of this problem, contamination soil with e-waste garnered significant attention, owing its profound implications for environmental integrity human health. Discussion: The leads diverse ecological repercussions, encompassing disruptions cycling nutrients biodiversity, well potential contaminants accumulate food chain. Effective management strategies are imperative address multifaceted challenge, implementation governmental regulations, adoption sustainable recycling raising public awareness campaigns. circular economy holds great addressing economic challenges. To build more resilient eco-friendly urban future, collaborative solutions necessary infrastructural, policy, issues. In many circumstances, is not primarily government's duty. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) business sector actively participate trash efforts through education events charity initiatives. This revolution meaningfully advance smart city development use technology-driven Conclusion: By proactively reducing soil, we can mitigate effects hazards safeguard health from negative consequences associated burgeoning predicament.

E-waste, known for its hazardous contents, has gained attention use as secondary raw materials. There is evidence that the e-waste sector in developing countries applies various urban mining techniques to recover valuable resources from their waste. Urban have shown multiple signs of progress across countries. Still, studies yet be carried out examine state-of-the-art barriers, drivers, or technologies this field. Furthermore, research on topic must more cohesive, multi-faceted, and conclusive.
