Abstract
Globally, one major concept that has attracted policy and academic interest is the green economy. Evidence has shown that a green economy can deliver the needed sustainable development, protect biophysical resources, create jobs, and create an inclusive society. However, current green economy approaches applied in the e-waste sector culminate at the landfill and seems to have forgotten the power of e-waste repurposing. This chapter highlights the critical role of e-waste repurposing towards the delivery of a green or circular economy for emerging economies and makes significant policy suggestions for consideration.
