Layzer, J. A., & Rinfret, S. R. (2020). The Environmental Case: Translating Values Into Policy (5th ed.). Los Angeles: SAGE | CQ PRESS.

This textbook addresses environmental policy issues in the US in a systematic way, the topics include air and water pollution, natural resource management, emerging environmental issues such as climate change, and energy development. It becomes a useful tool for researchers who wish to understand specificities of environmental policymaking in the US, by the way of case study analysis and an evaluation of values impact on political choices.

This paper aimed at describing e-waste management starting from how it has expanded as a global pollution issue to the health and environmental dangers emanating form exposure to the toxic substances from the waste. It provides the essential information for researchers and policy-makers who are engaged in the interdisciplinary problem of e-waste management that highlights the role of inclusive programs.

Thakur, P., & Kumar, S. (2022). Evaluation of e-waste status, management strategies, and legislations. International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 19, 6957–6966.

This article examines the critical situation of e-waste worldwide, mentioning health and environmental hazards, and suggesting solutions and legislations in both developed and underdeveloped nations. It brings very useful information to the policymakers and environmental organistaions, especially in the developing countries of India and China, on how to draft the policies that will create their success in reducing e-waste impacts and controlling cross-border flows.

This study presents a concise blueprint for e-waste legislation in the United States that aims to fill the gaps that may exist in regulations by integrating analysis and stakeholder participation. It is utterly crucial for policy makers as it provides insight from over variety of perspectives and helps in the enhancement of the regulatory frameworks.

This article explores how to manage electronic waste (e-waste) paying attention to what ways can be implemented to cut down on environmental detriment and human distress. It conveys the significance of both reverse supply and public awareness raising. These study outcomes help to guide policy makers and Governments to set up a secure and sustainable electronic waste (eWaste) management system.

This study integrates material flow analysis and detailed sales data to investigate the e-waste (electronic waste) trends in the U.S.; the results show that though the volume of mobile devices has grown, the total e-waste mass has paradoxically declined. These studies have critical implications for the authorities which the emphasis on the regulation of extended producers responsibility should go with the evolving e-waste streams.

The study focuses on e-waste phase between reuse and disposal and combines the fields of environmental science and economics in the Greater Lafayette area. This research is the basis of our knowledge around the intricacies of e-waste disposal and goes against the traditional view of waste as something to be discarded.

The research focuses on the multiple e-waste regulation existing in the 25 states in the U.S. and discusses the difficulties created by different sets of regulations. It furthermore determines the collection levels in the period before and after the legislation was installed, mirroring such complexities as is seen in the fight over the federal versus the state authority.

This research examines how poverty and internet literacy affect e-waste globally, finding complex links dictated by digital awareness and other factors. It provides optimistic views about e-waste forming mechanism and e-waste policy function moderating role in countries development levels, where policy-makers and researchers can benefit in the realm of sustainable waste management.

This paper discusses the processes behind forming a closed-loop system for recovering precious metals and cutting down on the electronic waste which is a result from the processing of mobile devices. It champions the idea that technological solutions, citizens’ engagement, environmental impacts and social aspects are fundamentals in a journey to a circular, however, it is an education that will enable researchers and policy makers to embrace sustainable waste management practices.
