Several measures can help manage e-waste safely. Establishing formal, authorised e-waste collection and recycling facilities that use safe, controlled extraction methods (rather than open burning or uncontrolled acid leaching) allows valuable metals to be recovered without releasing hazardous substances into the environment.
