Rapid rise of electronics and IT Retail, gift customer culture, and increasing consumer spending of electronic products creates fateful consequences for the environment. E-waste materials are also dangerous when recycling due to its toxicity, many substances including some carcinogens. These issues and toxicity are due to the release of lead, mercury, cadmium, and metallic elements. In this article reported a brief comparison of how developing and developed countries deal with e waste materials. Developed countries export this waste as follows: (i)Formal recycling (ii) donations to developing countries. Whereas in developing countries informal recycling takes place, majority of the e-waste materials are being dumped to the land & only a small portion of e-waste is went through proper recycling. There are various laws and guidelines in developed countries, but still, it is difficult to control e-waste materials. Current research focuses on usage and marketing effectiveness use of electronic waste materials in nature. Proper implication of laws should take place and awareness to people around the globe and serious actions must be taken care by the manufacturers.
