Thesis Overview

<p> The rapid proliferation of electronic devices and technological advancements has led to a significant increase in electronic waste (e-waste) generation, posing environmental, health, and regulatory challenges globally. The management of e-waste, encompassing collection, recycling, and disposal, presents complex risks related to environmental pollution, human health hazards, and legal compliance. In this context, the potential of insurance in addressing the challenges of e-waste management has emerged as a topic of interest, offering opportunities to mitigate risks, promote responsible recycling practices, and support the transition towards a circular economy. This project aims to comprehensively explore the role of insurance in addressing e-waste challenges, with a focus on risk management, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance. <br></p><p> </p><div><div><div><div><div>This project aims to provide valuable insights for insurers, e-waste management stakeholders, policymakers, and environmental organizations on the potential of insurance in addressing the challenges of e-waste management.
