Abstract

This paper shed the light on the undue impacts of the electronic wastes on human’s health and environment in the absence of the wise management. This type of waste contains heavy metals and toxic materials that help in destructing the environment and human’s health. In fact, the absence of legal infrastructure that controls the handling, dismantle, recycling and disposal of e-wastes played a role in maximizing the bad consequences whether on the environment or the man’s health. Three e-wastes management systems have carefully been analyzed for three countries for standing on the regulations and components that form the management systems in these countries. After that it could be established an Egyptian e-wastes management system fit both the social and economic situations of Egypt. This system will positively affect human’s health, environment and national income.
