The article addresses the growing global issue of electronic waste and its environmental and health impacts. The worldwide waste amount reached 62 million tons in 2022 and is expected to rise to 82 million tons by 2030, with an effective recycling rate of only 22.3%. It also highlights how the use of artificial intelligence technologies affects the lifespan of devices, as some new features require advanced hardware that accelerates device obsolescence, thereby increasing the volume of waste and exposing children and impoverished populations to health risks from pollution and heavy metals. Additionally, environmental contamination with toxic materials results from informal dismantling processes. The article reviews efforts to develop biodegradable electronics and the right-to-repair movement, which aims to extend device lifespans and reduce environmental damage. However, adoption remains limited and faces technological and regulatory challenges.
