The concept of zero waste is an ideal situation that will require different solutions for different categories of waste. Electronic waste (E-waste), the fastest growing category of solid hazardous waste presents various unique challenges. Electronic product repair, reuse and remanufacture (3re) are crucial for effective source reduction of E-waste and the integration of the electronics industry into a circular or zero-waste economy framework. Increasingly, 3re implementation is restricted by regulatory difficulties, particularly the invocation of copyright laws. Here, we use the examples of electronic printer cartridges and restored compact discs (CDs) to identify the challenges and to explore solutions for managing the risks associated with E-waste through circular economy and the opportunities presented by innovative Blockchain solutions. A set of international consensuses on judicial definitions, such as 3re, refurbish fake/counterfeit product and copyright exhaustion, are proposed to accelerate source reduction in E-waste management toward the goal of zero waste.

零浪费的概念是一种理想的情况，将需要针对不同类别的废物采取不同的解决方案。电子废物（电子废物）是增长最快的固体危险废物类别，提出了各种独特的挑战。电子产品的维修，再利用和再制造（3re）对于有效减少电子废物的来源以及将电子行业整合到循环或零废物经济框架中至关重要。3re越来越多实施受到监管困难（尤其是版权法的调用）的限制。在这里，我们使用电子打印机墨盒和还原的光盘（CD）的示例来识别挑战，并探索通过循环经济来管理与电子垃圾相关的风险的解决方案，以及创新的区块链解决方案所带来的机遇。提出了一系列关于司法定义的国际共识，例如3re，翻新的伪造/伪造产品和版权用尽，以加速实现电子废物管理中的源减少，以实现零废物的目标。
