TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a literature review paper which discusses an overview of electronic waste and their potential environmental and human health impacts in different countries, various tools of strategies have been adopted in order to manage the e-waste through life cycle assessment, material flow analysis, multi-criteria analysis, extended producer responsibility, reverse logistics and their features.
Abstract: New changes in technologies and tremendous growth in population have created many environmental related problems worldwide. One of the significant issues is the production of variety of toxic substances from different electronic devices and appliances. These substances have serious threats to the environment and human health. This is a literature review paper which discusses an overview of electronic waste and their potential environmental and human health impacts. In different countries, various tools of strategies have been adopted in order to manage the e-waste through life cycle assessment, material flow analysis, multi-criteria analysis, extended producer responsibility, reverse logistics and their features. Comparisons of features with advantages and disadvantages are also presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In 2019, the Resource Sustainability Act (RSA) was passed in Parliament on 4 September 2019 and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for electronic waste was extended to packaging waste by 2025 as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: With the introduction of the Resource Sustainability Act (RSA) on 5 August 2019, Singapore has embarked on its journey towards building a circular economy. Circularity was further emphasized and detailed in the Zero Waste Masterplan 2019 (ZWMP) launched on 30 August 2019. One of the main pillars of the Resource Sustainability Act (RSA) which was passed in Parliament on 4 September 2019, is the introduction of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for electronic waste by 2021. Under the ZWMP, EPR will also be extended to packaging waste by 2025. This paper will review the consultative democratic exercise of the Year Towards Zero Waste (YTZW) that has shaped the RSA, the new e-waste EPR provisions in the RSA, as well as highlight the complexities in extending EPR to packaging waste.

TL;DR: In this article, a Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (cLCA) of several prospective scenarios was carried out to assess the environmental impacts of a global management system in the associated macroeconomic environment, and the importance of a precise definition of the policy context.
Abstract: At the European level an important stock of particleboards (PB) from end-of-life furniture is currently managed without considering its potential as secondary resource. In France the Grenelle 2 policy recently introduced the principle of “extended producer responsibility”, which fostered public policy to reorganize management of end-of-life PB. The ADEME (French EPA) has commissioned a study to assess the current management system and to propose alternatives. In order to assess these alternatives from an environmental point of view, a Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (cLCA) of several prospective scenarios was carried out. Results demonstrated the added-value of assessing the environmental impacts of a global management system in the associated macro-economic environment, and the importance of a precise definition of the policy context.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the consequences of implementing extended producer responsibility (EPR) for end-life vehicles (ELV) in the context of the European Union's EPR for ELV.
Abstract: The thesis examines the consequences of implementing extended producer responsibility (EPR for end of life vehicles (ELV). In year 2000 the European Union issued a directive demanding member to sta ...
