The article provided some practical suggestions of E-waste recycling, but lack of research study.
Kumar, Holuszko & Espinosa (2017)
The article introduced many technologies to recycle E-waste but did not give detailed information on each technology
Awasthi, Zeng & Li (2016)
The article stated regulations in different countries but the data is not latest. Moreover, the article mentioned bioleaching technology, but no more introduction.
Conclusion
My research topic is to analyze the E-waste problem and find more solutions to the problem. Although the sources which I selected are not fully discussed about the E-waste recycling issue, they offered many perspectives on how to regard the E-waste problem and what are the effective ways to solve the problem, which can help me in my research topic
