Abstract

Mobile phones are among the most widely used devices worldwide, but they also present a serious environmental contamination issue. Mobile phones often contain dangerous materials that, if not properly handled and disposed of, will leak into the environment. To ascertain the level of contamination, risk assessment techniques must be developed. In this research, national and international scenarios and regulating measures have been discussed for the harmfulness and management of mobile waste materials. The various characteristics of mobile wastes and materials flow for the processing of mobile related wastes have been elaborated. The different types of frameworks for the indicating systems, selection criteria, and risk assessment indication systems were also illustrated. The various stages of mobile waste handling and processing to recover polymers have also been represented.
