Abstract: One
of the buzzwords that we hear everywhere these days is sustainability and how
important it is to have sustainable development in every sphere of life so that
we can leave a promising future to our coming generations. Looking at the
criticality of the situation, the United Nations and all its member countries
have framed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030. Although the rapid
technological advancements that are taking place all around the world make life
easier and more comfortable, there are also numerous issues associated with
these developments which are dangerously threatening the very environment in
which we are living. One such problem is the growing e-waste that is being
generated by the rapid discard of the electronic equipment. In this paper, we
look at how e-waste management can be done to help achieve some of the goals of
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030.
Keywords: Sustainability, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
