The rapid development of the electronics industry has brought great benefits in everyday life, but the consequences that occur after use are usually ignored or unknown. From the point of view of ecology and environmental protection, one of the biggest global problems in the world is electronic and electrical waste. The specificity of electronic waste is its complexity and the speed with which electronic products become obsolete and are replaced by new ones. In addition, e-waste is a valuable source of secondary raw materials and toxic if improperly treated. Rapid technology change, low initial costs, and even planned product obsolescence have resulted in rapid growth of the problem worldwide. Products such as televisions, mobile phones, computers and related computer equipment, cameras, printers, etc. they have become a large part of municipal waste and that is why the flow of electrical waste has been identified as one of the fastest growing in Europe. The problems that arise in the treatment of e-waste arise from the variety of products on the market, as well as the types and types of similar products, as well as the inconvenience of products for recycling. According to some estimates, e-waste contains about 10% of functionally correct parts, 5% can be recovered and reused, and the remaining 85% must be disassembled and sorted and used materially. Larger devices are easier to recycle due to less material variety and easier separation. With small devices, processing is hampered by the great variety of materials, the way they are made and the variety of manufacturers. Mobile phones are a specific problem as their number is increasing due to the current monitoring of technology advances. On average, each person has one mobile phone, which makes a large amount of waste that should not be ignored. Plastic, copper, iron are just some of the components that make up phones and can be further processed or reused. Used electronic and electrical equipment has become one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste is generated worldwide every year. According to the latest estimates, a person "produces" 3 tons of e-waste during his life, and in Europe, as many as 6 million tons of this waste are collected every year. In EU countries, as in Japan, regulations and recovery and recycling programs are in force for manufacturers, traders and importers of electronic products. The annual cost of e-waste recycling in Europe reaches the value of 1.5 billion dollars. The United States "produces" 1/4 of the world's total electronics. The United States does not currently have a global law on electronic waste disposal.
