1. Electronic Waste: Recycling and Reprocessing for a Sustainable Future
2022 by Maria E. Holuszko, Amit Kumar, Denise C. R. Espinosa
In the vast and peculiar universe of electronic devices—where gadgets multiply faster than rabbits at a fertility conference—Electronic Waste: Recycling and Reprocessing for a Sustainable Future emerges as the definitive guide to preventing our planet from turning into one gigantic, humming, sparking junkyard. Penned by a trio of brainy boffins, this book explores the art of coaxing treasures out of yesterday’s tech disasters, all while aiming for a zero-waste utopia that sounds suspiciously optimistic but thoroughly intriguing. With a global flair, the authors wander through the labyrinth of international regulations, dabble in the alchemy of recycling technologies with names long enough to induce vertigo (biohydrometallurgy, anyone?) and deliver witty yet practical advice on everything from separating industrial materials to dodging apocalyptic e-waste scenarios. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered how to give their smartphone a Viking funeral—or at least a responsible reincarnation—this book might just convince you that saving the planet can be a bit like hitchhiking through the galaxy: messy, unpredictable, but undeniably brilliant.

2. E-waste Recycling and Management: Present Scenarios and Environmental Issues
2019 by Anish Khan, Inamuddin, Abdullah M. Asiri
E-Waste Recycling and Management: Present Scenarios and Environmental Issues is the sort of book that might not leap off the shelf shouting, “Read me, I’m fascinating!” but rather sidles up with a subtle, world-weary look that says, “The planet’s in a bit of a mess and I suppose we ought to talk about it.” Packed with insights as fresh as the circuit boards it hopes to save, it tackles the sticky, smelly problem of e-waste with all the wit and charm of a technophile who’s just realized their gadgets are trying to kill the planet. From grim environmental truths to gleaming prospects of recycling wizardry, the book charts a course through the stormy seas of global trash with enough technical savvy to please the academics and just enough pragmatism to keep the industrialists awake. If you’ve ever wondered how to stop your toaster from staging a posthumous revolt against the environment, this might just be your guide.

3. Critical metals in discarded electronics: Mapping recycling potentials from selected waste electronics in the Nordic region
2016 by Bakas, Ioannis (CRI), Herczeg, Márton (CRI)
In a universe where discarded electronics quietly hoard treasure troves of critical metals—like tiny Nordic dragons lounging in the circuitry—Critical Metals in Discarded Electronics takes you on a fascinating journey through the untapped recycling potential of the region’s gadget graveyards. While the world has been obsessing over plastic mountains, this book zooms in on five cunningly selected product categories that hide impressive quantities of gold and other critical metals, making them the VIPs of e-waste. With a witty nod to the circular economy, it champions the idea that it’s not just about how much you recycle, but how cleverly you extract the good stuff. Perfect for anyone curious about turning old tech into an environmental and economic win—or just wondering how Nordic countries keep being so annoyingly ahead of the curve.

4. The Complete Technology Book on E-Waste Recycling
2015 by NIIR Board of Consultants & Engineers
In a world where your old smartphone, printer and that weird gadget you swore you’d use once are plotting a chaotic uprising, The Complete Technology Book on E-Waste Recycling steps in as the ultimate guide to defeating the fast-growing menace of e-waste. With a global mountain of 40 million tons of discarded electronics growing faster than you can say “obsolete,” this book dives headfirst into the sticky web of salvage, recycling and disposal. It tackles everything from government regulations (because someone’s got to make rules) to the nitty-gritty of turning yesterday’s tech trash into tomorrow’s slightly less trashy treasure. Along the way, it drops wisdom on environmental and health impacts while sprinkling in a treasure map of machinery suppliers (complete with pictures!) to set you up as the hero of the e-waste apocalypse. Whether you’re saving the planet or just your garage from exploding, this book is your blueprint for turning electronic chaos into recycling genius.

5. Electronic Waste: Recycling Techniques
2015 by
In a universe teetering on the edge of a junk-filled dystopia, where electronic waste quietly conspires to take over landfills everywhere, Electronic Waste: Recycling Techniques offers a hilariously detailed guide to turning this techno-junk into something far more useful (and less ominous). From breaking down the mysterious alchemy of extracting metals, polymers and ceramics from yesterday’s gadgets to making sense of the science behind it all, this book is part manual, part survival guide for anyone staring down the blinking, beeping abyss of e-waste. Whether you’re a scientist, an engineer, or just a curious student hoping to one day lord over a personal empire of recycled tech, this book makes the whole process sound both practical and just the right amount of absurd.
