The rapid growth of electronic waste (e-waste) poses a significant environmental challenge, with the accumulation of valuable metals in discarded devices contributing to resource depletion and pollution. Traditional methods of metal extraction from e-waste are often energy-intensive and environmentally detrimental. This article explores an innovative and sustainable approach to metal extraction from electronic waste by harnessing the unique abilities of manganese-oxidizing fungi. These fungi, known for their role in biogeochemical cycling, offer a promising avenue for eco-friendly and cost-effective metal recovery. This article reviews the current state of electronic waste management, highlights the potential of manganese-oxidizing fungi, discusses the mechanisms involved in metal extraction, and evaluates the environmental and economic implications of this approach.
