Electronic trash (e-waste) creation has increased exponentially as a result of the widespread use of electronic devices and the quick rate of technical development, posing a serious environmental concern. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has become a crucial tactic for addressing the negative social and environmental effects of e-waste. This chapter provides entrepreneurs with a detailed roadmap for navigating the challenges of EPR adoption in e-waste management. For entrepreneurs, the application of extended producer responsibility in the management of e-waste poses both a difficulty and an opportunity. By embracing the EPR precepts and following the recommended roadmap, entrepreneurs may significantly minimize the environmental impact of e-waste, promote resource conservation, and create a more sustainable future.
