“…On the one hand, WEEE treatment requires that end users develop the ability to apply and propagate that electrical and electronic devices can in no way be treated as any item considered waste. In this sense, Debnath, Roychoudhuri (50) believes that each individual should be aware of how to classify and dispose of WEEE. On the other hand, manufacturers from the conception of different electrical and electronic devices need to consider practical materials to disassemble and recycle as much as possible.…”

In this age of technology, where the use of this is excessive and its exponential growth has given rise to a series of challenges and opportunities caused by the accumulation of waste electrical and electronic equipment in Mexico City. For its treatment, more practical approaches have been necessary, taking into account proper management and long-term well-being as a main element of sustainability. The objective of this work is to propose sustainable initiatives based on social, economic and environmental dimensions, based on the challenges faced by waste management of electrical and electronic equipment as one of the fields that contribute to the transition towards a sustainable society. Data from each dimension were analyzed to extract the most relevant challenges by reviewing the literature and identifying sources that relate them to the life cycle of electrical and electronic waste. As a result, a governance model for waste electronic and electronic devices was obtained to support environmental sustainability that identifies lines of action for the effective treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment highlighting awareness, education, knowledge and regulations as well as processes environmental. From this it is concluded that the governance of waste electrical and electronic equipment is mandatory for the integration of economic, social and environmental factors to efficiently leverage efforts on environmental care.

The role of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) is important now-a-days and its impact on the nature is huge which emits more heat and CO2. Cloud Computing is playing an impressive role to face the challenges in IT Modern Digital Era to process the growing large volume of data and storing that data in Data Centers (DC) and provides the resources and applications to the customers with more scalability, flexibility, cost-effective, pay-on-demand basis and anything as-a-service in cloud but most of the prevailing cloud datacenter architectures are not aligned to green standards. To minimize the impact on cloud computing environment energy-efficient methods are required. Green Cloud is still under research and at nascent stage in its growth and implementation. Green cloud computing is an eco-friendly methodology helps to make the cloud computing environment with more power efficient, maximum resource utilization not by over-provisioning, less carbon footprints, minimized Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and reduction in E-wastages. In order to save cost, large enterprises come up with cutting edge technologies like Green Cloud Computing (GCC) by bringing them into the cloud environment to reduce the operational expenditures (OPEX) and allow the organizations to make less use of physical components and resources with virtualization techniques that requires only less cooling, less water consumption and minimized power consumption to keep the nature calm. The Cloud Service Providers (CSP) should upgrade their cloud DC infrastructure by eliminating the negative impacts which causes harm to the nature. Green Cloud Computing focuses on bringing the necessary characteristics and approaches in cloud environment like containerization, Designing Green Data center facility infrastructure, VM placement, Server Consolidation, Thin Clients, Green metrics, Green Network and Protocols, Green Data Management, Sustainable software development and safe disposable methods with 3 R's (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle). In this paper the discussions are about various elements and green cloud methodologies which are most needed to bring positive impact in our environment and to reduce metered bill for business profit margin and agility.

“…The ongoing and fast progression in the EEE led to a rapidly obsolete product before its end of existence [16]. Noted that in a few years more than a billion computers will be redundant [17]. Reiterated that thousands of the previous version are scrapped when a new product is launched into the market, while it is usable and therefore creates massive quantities of e-waste.…”

“…If e-waste is not properly monitored, handled and recycled, it has potential to cause toxic chemicals in the environment with significant consequences and harmful public health effects [26]. Elucidatively, suggesting education for informal e-waste deals on risks and adverse environmental consequences throughout the expectation that their e-waste management mindset will be improved [17], [27]. For instance, a significant impact on e-waste handling has gained in the University of Duhok's (Iraq), along with the suggestion to incorporate e-waste insights and management into curricula for environmental sustainability [21].…”

Population proliferation, economic escalation and modernization have led to a tenacious increase in the number of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in developing countries (DCs) particularly in Rwanda. Also, with the onset of information and communication technology (ICT), people are eager to discover new technologies, leading to robust demand for contemporary electronic devices and the use of these tools. Expired EEE are being discarded expeditiously as E-waste in bulk due to a lack of perspicuous management and treatment approach. This work is intended to describe the development of e-waste and suggests theoretical recommendations. However, it is predicated on open access articles that use e-waste as a keyword, field survey and some of the most widely studied topics namely waste management, environmental and human health effects, and the current situation of waste management in a particular region. This work reveals that the National E-waste Management Policy will restraint the life end of EEE emanating in human health protection, environment conservation, and business development concomitant to management of electrical and electronic waste (E-waste) and recycling industries, and job creation for sustainable development.
