All of the electrical and electronic products that no longer work, are unwanted, or have expired are called electronic waste or e-waste. Computers, televisions, mobile phones, fax machines, and printers make up the majority of this waste. So why are these wastes harmful? The recycling of end-of-life products is not only an ecologically necessary issue supported by regulations but also economically interesting because of the use of raw materials and reduced costs. Therefore, electronic waste (e-waste) is now seen as a serious raw material source rather than waste, as it includes materials that have a chance of secondary use as well as recyclable materials. The problem of electronic waste in the world is not separate from the problem of electronic waste in Türkiye. The global electronic waste problem is a whole made up of parts. E-waste is a subject that needs to be read and analyzed from a holistic perspective in Türkiye and the world. In this study, what has been done about e-waste in the world and Türkiye, numerical information is given in detail. Various solution proposals have been tried to be proposed in terms of the e-waste problem in Türkiye.
