Abstract: This review comprehensively analyzes the current situation, problems, and solution strategies of e-waste management. With the rapid development of computer technology, the quantity of e-waste has increased dramatically, and the current recycling system is not perfect, resulting in a large amount of e-waste not being properly handled. E-waste contains a large number of hazardous substances, if not properly handled, will seriously pollute the soil, water, and air, posing a threat to human health, but also cause a waste of resources. In order to solve these problems, the article proposes a variety of strategies, such as multidisciplinary cooperation, improvement of the recycling system, technological innovation, policies and regulations, economic incentives, and public participation and education. Among them, improving public environmental awareness and participation is the key to the success of e-waste management, and community activities play an important role in e-waste management by providing a platform for public participation. Through multifaceted measures, the sustainable development of e-waste management can be effectively promoted.
