In this research, eight potential barriers for electronic waste (E-waste) management for an evolving economy namely, Bangladesh were identified by a review of literature and from feedback of face-to-face interviews with five E-waste management experts’ of Bangladesh. The best worst method was used to evaluate these eight barriers. The findings disclosed that “Absence of legal framework for E-waste management” has been the key barrier in the context of Bangldesh. The result of the research is expected to contribute to address the key barriers to E-waste management policy through identification and priortization of barriers by government policymakers.
