E-waste refers to discarded electronic devices and is a growing problem in India. Large amounts of e-waste are generated in major cities and states each year, totaling hundreds of thousands of tons. Improperly handled e-waste recycling can release toxic chemicals like lead and cadmium into the environment, posing hazards to human health. There is lack of public awareness about e-waste and its risks. Manufacturers also do little to promote take-back programs for obsolete electronics. Non-toxic recycling methods need to be implemented to handle India's increasing volumes of e-waste in an environmentally responsible way.

3. INTRODUCTION
What is E-waste ?
 Describes discarded electrical
or electronic devices.
 Used electronics which are
destined for reuse, resale.

7. ECONOMIC & SOCIAL
AFFECTS OF RECYCLING
 Lead in CRTs & circuit
boards.
 Cadmium in switches.
 Hazard to human
health and the
environment if
improperly managed.
 TOXICITY OF E-WASTE RECYCLING

8. PERCEPTION OF THE PROBLEM
 PUBLIC AWARENESS
• the issue of e-waste, as it is a rather new issue and has no
directly visible consequences for the general public
 AWARENESS AMONG DISMANTLERS AND
RECYCLERS
 AWARENESS AMONG MANUFACTURES
• The majority of the brands had no information on their take-
back systems on their websites and none of them had spent a
considerable amount of money on raising awareness.

9. PROPOSALS
• Cost-Effectiveness
• Domestic Solution
• Value of E-Waste
• Non-toxic Hydrometallurgical Treatment
