Electronic or E-waste has increased significantly due to economic development, digital transformations, and rapidly changing technologies. During COVID-19, confinement in homes accelerated the use of electronic gadgets. The unusual situation augmented the demand for new electronic gadgets, specifically mobile phones, laptops, and internet devices. The tendency is gaining impetus due to growing online learning and communication inclinations. It is anticipated that these products reach their end-of-life within 3-4 years, resulting in a surge of E-waste posing severe threats to developing economies like Pakistan. Besides this, Pakistan receives tons of E-waste from developed countries which ultimately goes to informal recycling markets. At the same time, it's also the right time to convert looming threats from electronic waste into opportunities. The present study was designed to assess university students' knowledge and orientations regarding e-waste. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. It focuses on the students' inclinations towards E.waste. The designed questionnaire was circulated among university students of Islamabad through Google Forms, an application provided by Google, Inc. Moreover, the researchers made field visits for data collection. Resultantly, a total of 368 responses were obtained. The key findings formulate that most undergraduate and graduate-level respondents were aware of the consequences of E-waste on the health and environment. It transpired that students possess proenvironment propensities towards E-waste collection and recycling. It emerged that consumers' decisions about electronic devices significantly impact E-waste generation. Thus, there is a strong need to promote environmental awareness to ensure environmentally informed decisions. This study concludes that focusing on formal education about E-waste, pragmatic regulations, and policymaking will encourage consumers (students) to opt for eco-friendly and sustainable electronics and waste management practices.
