Plastics, glass, wood, plywood, printed circuit boards, concrete ceramics, rubber, Iron and steel are ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals consist of metals like copper, Hence E-waste management system is a major problem in the whole world. Many researchers analyzed various techniques with impact of E-waste and its effect on the environmental factors in various countries.
