Plastics in waste electronics (E-plastics) account for approximately 20% of the entire global electronic waste (E-waste) stream. Most of the E-plastics are not recycled as the presence of toxic additives (e.g. heavy metals, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), antimony, etc.) have associated environm...
