Based on the above trend analysis towards premature obsolescence, it’s possible to increased packing density. Other trends which appear in other fields of the electronics sector are transmission speed and improved processors. Product marketing is a well-known example, or we can say factor, that highly motivates consumer intention to upgrade [3–5].

Current fashion is another factor. In the field of smart devices, this is becoming apparent. Nobody anymore wants to be seen carrying a bulky phone with an arial antenna. A few people thought that new models are released too frequently when the old one is not out of date by very much. This results in premature obsolescence and increasing more e-waste. Another factor is the cost of repairing. For instance, it is much easier nowadays for a consumer to buy a new smart phone when the battery life is nearly dead than to invest in a new battery. With so many battery types available in the market for a particular mobile device, consumers do not want to take the risk of buying the wrong type and end up having another problem of completely damaging their currently only troublesome device. Consumer eagerness for new advanced products forces a decrease in the lifespan of existing products, and as a result it increases electrical and electronic waste. An ever-growing portion of the solid waste from cities is due to the increase of e-waste at an accelerated rate [6–8]. Electronic items after use are shipped over oceans, which creates a complicated waste matter consisting of several harmful metals and chemical substances. Consumption of electronic products in India is very high due to the large population.

E-waste contains toxins which produce greenhouse gases (GHGs) at the time of their disposal and which impact human health and effect pollution due to low levels of processing. The more the e-waste in landfill, the more these poisonous materials mix into groundwater. A major risk is involved to workers’ health and their communities due to the recycling and disposal of e-waste [10–12].
