Abstract
The proliferation of smart boards, interactive digital displays widely used in educational and corporate settings, has introduced significant advancements in communication and learning. However, their rapid adoption and relatively short lifespan contribute to the growing global electronic waste (e-waste) crisis. This review examines smart boards as an emerging source of e-waste, focusing on their composition, environmental and health impacts, and current management practices. Smart boards contain valuable materials like precious metals and hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and brominated flame retardants, posing risks when improperly disposed of. The study highlights challenges in smart board disposal, including limited recycling infrastructure, lack of standardized regulations, and low public awareness. Sustainable solutions, such as eco-friendly design, advanced recycling technologies, and circular economy models, are proposed to mitigate these issues. By integrating green manufacturing and enhanced policy frameworks, this review aims to provide a roadmap for managing smart board e-waste effectively, ensuring environmental sustainability and public health protection.
