The electronic and electrical industry is the world’s largest growing production commerce. As the production of electric and electronic equipment (EEE) increases, the waste generated during the manufacturing and the usage by the consumers also increases. Electronic waste (E-waste) comprises wastes generated from used elec- tronic devices and household appliances like discarded computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device, electronics, mobile phones, television sets, and re- resources leading to the scarcity and the threat OF total exhaustion OF these resources. Organizations have realized that the linear economy approach, based on the con- cept of ‘Take-Make and Dispose’, is not sustainable and creates an imbalance in the supply chain of the natural resources. The companies following the linear economic model extract the factory inputs from the environment, use energy and human re- sources to manufacture a product and sell it to a consumer who then disposes it into the environment after a single use (Goyal et al. 2018). This model is not sustainable in the long term and will create a major deficit of natural resources and also overlook the great value which is embedded in the used material (Ravindra and Mor 2019).

Reverse logistics a economy is the proces terials at the end-of-li so referred to as “aftermarket supply chain” in the circular s of collecting and aggregating products, components, or ma- fe from the point of consumption and managing the reverse flow to their origins where they can be recycled, reused, or disposed of (Fig. 3) (De Mattos et al. 2018). Ta ke-back programs, warranties and product defect returns, all require reverse logistics to get the product from the consumer back to the manufac- turer (Jayaraman and Luo 2007). 2.2. 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) The core principle of the CE is the 3R concept of reduce, reuse and recycle used in the efficient management of the waste and improving the resource efficiency that promotes the return of the secondary resources into the product lifecycle, and redu- ces the waste emissions (Awan et al. 2020).
