Sanitary engineering The exponential development of the electronic industry and changes in people's lifestyle have increased the discarding rate of waste electronic appliances and electrical equipments rapidly. The disposal of electronic waste (e-waste) has become a serious challenge to developing and developed countries as toxic substances and heavy metals present in e-waste could harm human health and the atmosphere.

More specifically, this review highlights the positive aspects, future research needs, and limitations of using e-waste in construction. Overall, it is suggested that e-waste offers huge potential benefits when it is utilized in construction products, thereby reduces e-waste management problems and saves the earth from environmental pollution.
