Electronic waste (e-waste) is a growing concern due to the rapid advancement of technology and the short lifecycle of electronic devices. Nanotechnology can assist in e-waste management through:
Enhanced recovery: Nanomaterials can improve the extraction of precious metals and rare earth elements from discarded electronics. Recycling innovations: Nanotechnology can lead to the development of more efficient and cost-effective recycling processes for electronic components. Sustainable design: Incorporating nanomaterials in the design of electronic devices can result in longer-lasting products that generate less waste.
