Abstract :
With rapid development of electronic industry, electronic waste has become the fastest growing solid waste. E-waste has complex components and many contaminants, and improper disposal of electronic waste will inevitably cause serious environmental pollution. The paper investigates and analyses all kinds of pollution components contained in "three wastes" of electronic waste (ie, waste plastic, waste glass, scrap metal) and its present pollution situation, and discusses the pollution causes of "three wastes" and countermeasures, learns from foreign experience, and argues the resourcization of "three wastes" in E-waste.
