Abstract:
The repaid generation of e-Waste in the Sri Lanka urban context has the potential to support the national circular economy. The generation of e-waste is unavoidable in the rapidly developing technology sector. E-waste is typically perceived as a burden. The recycling and recycling and reusing of e-waste can positively influence the circular economy. E-waste has the properties such as recyclability and can be used to recover valuable metal components that are depleting rapidly. Comprehensive investigations have been carried out on the public perception of e-waste reusability and its challenges and limitation as a new business model. The study outcomes can help determine how people’s (the consumers’) perceptions can be effectively assessed to develop a sustainable business model that can be effectively employed to manage e-waste.
