AB - Guest editorial Guest editorial: Reliability and quality: analysis and applications This special issue of the International Journal of Quality and Reliability Management entitled “Reliability and Quality: Analysis and Applications” is primarily devoted to global environmental problem electronic waste (e-waste). By accessing the remaining useful lifetime, reliability and quality of components, the problem of e-waste can be minimized, and reuse potential can be enhanced. Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing, worldwide critical issue if disposal protocols are not meticulously managed for a variety of toxic substances, which can contaminate the environment and threaten human health. This special issue is focused on reliability and quality and its analysis and application. In developed countries, various tools including life cycle assessment (LCA), material flow analysis (MFA), multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and extended producer responsibility (EPR) have been developed to manage e-wastes, whereas for developing counties, the key to success in terms of e-waste management is to develop eco-design devices, properly collect e-waste, recover and recycle material by safe methods, dispose of e-waste by suitable techniques, forbid the transfer of used electronic devices to developing countries and raise awareness of the impact of e-waste. The challenges facing the developing countries in e-waste management
