E- Waste causes E-pollution. There are many harmful materials like lead, barium. It can be prevented by 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle). Recycling is a process where equipment is reverted to a raw material form. Part of this evolution has involved greater diversion of electronic waste from energy-intensive down-cycling processes (e.g., conventional recycling), This recycling is done by sorting, dismantling, and recovery of valuable materials. The environmental and social benefits of reuse include diminished demand for new products and virgin raw materials many company offer recycling of their product nowadays. This business is developing rapidly on large scale. The aim of this concept review paper is to study, analyse, discuss existing Ewaste recycling methodologies and conceptualize and propose some new approaches for recycling 100% of e-waste.
