    (North South University, 2018-12) Hafiza Sultana; Dr. Muslima Zahan; Habiba J. Shirin; Mohammad Mahboob Rahman
    This empirical study aims to develop an efficient e-waste management model for emerging economies and developing countries. To propose the same, first, the critical factors for sustainable e-waste management have been identified from both suppliers and consumers, with a combination of judgement and convenient sampling. The model has been proposed through qualitative analysis taking into account the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the informal scenario of e-waste handling, that is predominant in these nations. The research indicates the economic, social, and environmental benefits of the model, and, thus, offers valuable academic insights necessary to understand the e-waste solutions in the background of developing countries like Bangladesh. It can also assist the public and private organizations to realize the critical factors and their roles required to create a sustainable e-waste management framework.
