In developing countries, there is a lack of advanced recycling facilities capable of processing various types of electronic waste (e-waste). This limits the ability to recycle components and materials effectively. Furthermore, existing recycling facilities may use outdated technology that is less efficient in recovering valuable materials and may not meet modern environmental standards. Investments in specialized recycling facilities and raising awareness about responsible e-waste management is required to address these challenges.
