**7. Conclusion**

E- waste increases every year at an alarming rate, it is a global problem and needs global solution. So efforts must be taken to minimize illegal dumping. Most developed countries have developed legislations and policy guidelines to control the hazardous chemicals using in these products, and to manage the e-waste after discardation. The European Union has successes in implementing a uniform legislation for e-waste management. Switzerland led the way to establish a successful and formal e-waste management system followed by Germany and Japan.

As far as developing countries are concerned, there are many legislations are existed in developing countries, but they do not come together with enforcement. Most developing countries do not have the similar regulations particularly in their enforcement. In addition, special centers for e-waste processing are not available, facilities scarcity to extract the precious metals from e-waste are not available too. An accurate data of e-waste flows is not available which is a major required for e-waste management system.

By connecting the local and the national regulations, improvement in e waste management can be achieved in developing countries.

People behavior influences e-waste management. Behavior is identified as one of the important factors which affect the e-waste management funding [45]. Awareness of people can ensure that consumers participate in managing the e waste process. So the methodology in this research has focused on people awareness of the e waste. It is the responsibility of government to notify people of their duties and make them aware about e-waste impacts on health and environment due to unsuitable disposal of e-waste. Awareness lacking leads to engagement lacking in re-use and recycling inefficient product use, and lacking of engagement from consumer end. E-waste can be a great energy source if it treated appropriately.
