3. What is E-waste ?
E-waste is a popular, informal
name for electronic products
nearing the end of their "useful
life." Computers, televisions,
VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax
machines are
common electronic products.
Many of these products can be
reused, refurbished,
or recycled.

4. E-waste resources And Hazards
E-Waste Resources Environmental Hazard
Cathode ray tubes
Lead, barium and other heavy metals leaching into the ground
water and release of toxic phosphor
Printed circuit board Air emissions
Chips and other gold
plated components
PAHs, heavy metals, brominated flame retardants discharged
directly into rivers acidifying fish and flora.
Plastics from printers,
keyboards, monitors,
etc.
Emissions of brominated dioxins, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons
Computer wires PAHs released into air, water, and soil.

5. Processing Techniques
Sort E-waste
E-Waste Drives Pick- Ups
Drop-Offs
Scrap Product Recycled/
Refurbished

6. Recycling
Benefits
Saves landfill
spaces
Create jobs for
professional
recyclers
Ecological
degradation is
prevented
Conserve Natural
Resources
Management of
toxic element
