Also, these wastes, like other wastes, have a detrimental effect on the environment. Therefore, control of e-waste and planning for its recycling is a management problem at the national, global and environmental levels. In this research, using the system dynamics approach and using document model building (DMB) and reviewing the literature, the dynamics model is designed to identify the structure governing the generation of e-waste and its recycling and predict the amount of e-waste and the capacity required for its recycling. The results of the model showed that although the amount of waste and consequently its recycling has increased, this growth is limited and is S-shaped. However, recycling industries have increased revenues. %U https://jtdm.irost.ir/article_1172_2f7096e07eb7896d425aab273c1c83da.pdf
