Electronic wastes (e-wastes) is the most rapidly growing segment of the municipal waste stream. E- Wastes comprise 2-5 percent of municipal solid wastes, including many different electronic products. Iran is the biggest consumer of electronic products in Middle East. Approximately, 1.2 million computers are assembled in Iran every year. There are more than 40 million active cell phones in Iran. Electronic wastes production in Iran has been estimated to be over 37 thousand tons annually. Governmental and private organizations must be accompanied with waste management act to meet the requirements of Iran government. This legislation could improve the e-wastes management. Also nowadays, many countries, specially developed countries, consider strict regulatory to electronic wastes management.
