Abstract One of the solid waste categories with the fastest growth rates is electronic waste, which poses a severe environmental risk. Rapid advancement of technology has given rise to a significant environmental challenge: electronic waste (e-waste). It is composed of mixes of potentially dangerous inorganic and organic elements, including heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and flame retardants, as well as valuable metals like gold, silver, and platinum. Direct disposal of waste into landfills without any prior treatment endangers the environment because metals leach into water and soil. Inefficient waste recycling produces harmful and dangerous substances including dioxins, furans, and acids through methods like open burning and acid baths. E-waste management differs from that of regular solid wastes. The management of electronic trash requires advancements in addition to environmentally friendly technologies for its recycling and recovery of valuable and valuable resources. This paper focuses primarily on e-waste inventorization in organizations in Kerala. Statistical tools like percent, mean, median, standard deviation and t-test etc were used to analyse the data.
