A number of efforts have been launched to solve the global electronic waste (e-waste) problem. The efficiency of e-waste recycling is subject to variable national legislation, technical capacity, consumer participation, and even detoxification. E-waste management activities result in procedural irregularities and risk disparities across national boundaries. We review these variables to reveal opportunities for research and policy to reduce the risks from accumulating e-waste and ineffective recycling. Full regulation and consumer participation should be controlled and reinforced to improve local e-waste system. Aiming at standardizing best practice, we alter and identify modular recycling process and infrastructure in eco-industrial parks that will be expectantly effective in countries and regions to handle the similar e-waste stream. Toxicity can be deleted through material substitution and detoxification during the life cycle of electronics. Based on the idea of "Control-Alt-Delete", four patterns of the way forward for global e-waste recycling are proposed to meet a variety of local situations.
为解决全球电子废物（e-waste）问题，人们已经采取了多项措施。电子废物回收的效率受到各国立法、技术能力、消费者参与度，甚至解毒能力等因素的影响。电子废物管理活动导致程序违规和跨境风险差异。我们审查了这些变量，以揭示研究和政策的机会，以减少因积累电子废物和无效回收而带来的风险。应控制和加强全面监管和消费者参与，以改善当地电子废物系统。我们旨在通过规范最佳实践，改变和确定生态工业园区中的模块化回收流程和基础设施，这将有望在各国和地区有效处理类似的电子废物流。在电子产品的生命周期中，可以通过材料替代和解毒来消除毒性。基于“Ctrl+Alt+Delete”的理念，提出了全球电子废物回收的四种推进模式，以满足各种当地情况。
