The fast increase of electronic waste (e-waste) causes serious environmental and health challenges worldwide. This study analyzes the influence of policy and regulation in advancing e-waste recycling technology through a comparative analysis of e-waste management practices in the United States and abroad. By examining emerging recycling technologies, such as hydrometallurgical and biotechnological processes, and reviewing the performance of existing approaches, this research finds gaps in regulatory frameworks and recommends innovations to develop a sustainable e-waste management system. Data acquired through experimental research, case studies, and policy evaluations indicate that comprehensive laws, along with cutting-edge technologies, can dramatically reduce landfill trash, save natural resources, and minimize environmental contamination.
