Determining Factors Influencing The E-Waste Separation Intention Among Mobile Phone Repairers In Bangladesh

There is an enormous growth in mobile phone consumption worldwide which leads to generation of a large volume of e-waste every year. In Bangladesh, mobile phones are constantly repaired by replacing old batteries, screens, and accessories, which ultimately causes massive e-waste generation. Insuffic...
