Disposal of electronic devices and components, namely e-waste, is becoming a growing problem due to its negative effects on the environment and human health. This study conducted a systematic review of 350 articles in the Web of Science database, identifying key themes such as circular economy, sustainability, and urban mining. The study also identified new trends focusing on new topics that will guide future research, such as sustainable consumption. The study proposes a conceptual framework that will guide governments, consumers, and companies in addressing the e-waste problem. It emphasizes that policy makers should facilitate decision-making processes regarding e-waste, consumers should understand the consequences of how they dispose of their e-waste, and companies should view e-waste as a source of value rather than waste. This article presents a comprehensive theoretical research framework to increase awareness and knowledge about environmentally sound e-waste disposal behaviors and to guide future research in this area.

Elektronik cihaz ve bileşenlerin atılması, yani e-atık, çevre ve insan sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri nedeniyle giderek büyüyen bir sorun haline gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan 350 makale üzerinde sistematik bir inceleme yaparak döngüsel ekonomi, sürdürülebilirlik ve şehir madenciliği gibi temel temaların öne çıktığını belirlemiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada sürdürülebilir tüketim gibi gelecekteki araştırmalara yön verecek yeni konuların odaklandığı yeni eğilimler de tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada, hükümetlerin, tüketicilerin ve şirketlerin e-atık sorununu ele almalarına rehberlik edecek kavramsal bir çerçeve önerilmektedir. Politika yapıcıların e-atık ile ilgili karar alma süreçlerini kolaylaştırması, tüketicilerin e-atıklarını nasıl bertaraf ettiklerinin sonuçlarını anlaması ve şirketlerin e-atığı atık olarak değil, bir değer kaynağı olarak görmesi gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu makale, çevreye duyarlı e-atık bertarafı davranışlarına ilişkin farkındalık ve bilgi düzeyini artırmak ve bu alandaki gelecek araştırmalara rehberlik etmek için kapsamlı bir teorik araştırma çerçevesi sunmaktadır.
