E-waste, which witnessed a rapid growth in Bangladesh posing an environmental challenge, can be turned into valuable resources through effective recycling and reprocessing methods, according to experts. 

The weight of e-waste in 2016 is equivalent to about 4,500 Eiffel Towers, according the joint study by the UN University, the International Telecommunication Union, and the International Solid Waste Association.

We all love our cell phone, computer and TV and depend heavily on them in our day-to-day life. But each of these electronic equipment eventually reaches the end of its life and is replaced by a new one.

What do you do with the damaged battery or chargers of your cell phone? Where do you keep your fused bulbs and abandoned switches? What about obsolete computer accessories?

Old kitchen, bathroom and laundry equipment make up 60% of the 41.8 million tonnes of electronic waste thrown away in 2014, suggests a report.
