This dissertation investigates the critical issue of electronic waste (e-waste), focusing on its environmental impact, particularly in the context of manufacturing electrical equipment, and its implications for the circular economy. The research begins by establishing the significance of waste management and its global context, particularly in China, which is a major contributor to e-waste generation. The study delves into the problems associated with e-waste, including its environmental and health consequences, and explores the current management practices, including a case study of Guiyu, China. The methodology employs a positivism philosophy, descriptive design, deductive approach, and a case study research strategy, relying on secondary data analysis to assess the impact of e-waste. The dissertation analyzes the impact of waste generated from electronic manufacturing companies, with the aim of understanding the environmental impact of e-waste. The findings are discussed, linking the objectives to assess the impact of waste generated from manufacturing electrical equipment, analyze the impact of waste management in Guiyu, investigate the effects of waste management on the global economy, and recommend measures for waste management. The dissertation concludes by emphasizing the need for effective regulatory systems, development of the formal sector, and the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to mitigate the negative impacts of e-waste and promote a circular economy.
