Global Printed Circuit Board (PCB) E-scrap Recycling Industry Growth and Trends Forecast to 2031

Summary

EEE includes a wide range of products with circuity or electrical components with a power or battery supply. Almost any household or business use products like basic kitchen appliances, toys, tools to music, and ICT items, such as mobile phones, laptops, etc. EEE becomes e-waste once it has been discarded by its owner as waste without the intent of reuse. Each product has different material content, is disposed of and recycled in different ways, and is unequally harmful to the environment and human health if not managed in an environmentally sound manner.

Printed circuit board is an electronic circuit used in electronic devices to provide mechanical support. PCB mechanically supports and electrically converts electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks, or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. They are generally made of metal circuits, chips, ICs, sockets, cables, and plastic laminates. These are the elementary component for most of the electronics in the present scenario. PCBs are present in almost all electronic devices we use on a daily basis which include computers, TVs, smartphones, washing machines, coffee makers, ovens and refrigerators etc.

E-waste recycling industry refers to the work or business contains the collecting, transporting, re-using or processing of e-waste.
