E-waste management, also known as electronic waste management or WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) management, refers to the processes and strategies implemented to handle, recycle, and dispose of electronic and electrical equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. This category of waste includes a wide range of devices and appliances powered by electricity, such as computers, smartphones, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and more. E-waste management is crucial due to the increasing volume of electronic waste generated globally and the environmental and health hazards associated with improper disposal. Here's a detailed description of e-waste management: Collection: The first step in e-waste management is the collection of discarded electronic equipment. This can be done through various channels, including dedicated e-waste collection centers, drop-off points, recycling events, and even through authorized electronic retailers who take back old devices. Sorting and Segregation: Once collected, the e-waste is sorted into different categories based on the type of equipment and its potential for recycling or disposal. Items like batteries, printed circuit boards (PCBs), plastics, and precious metals are typically separated during this process. Data Destruction: Before recycling or disposing of electronic devices, data security is a critical concern. Data stored on hard drives, memory cards, and other storage media must be securely wiped or destroyed to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. Recycling: Recycling is a key component of e-waste management. Components like metals (copper, aluminum, gold, etc.), plastics, and glass can often be extracted and reused. Recycling not only conserves resources but also reduces the energy and environmental impact associated with mining and manufacturing new materials. Disposal: Some components of e-waste may not be recyclable or economically viable to recycle. In such cases, safe disposal methods are employed to prevent environmental contamination. Specialized disposal facilities, often designed to minimize environmental impact, handle the disposal of hazardous components. Regulations and Compliance: Many countries have established regulations and guidelines for the proper management of e-waste. These regulations often dictate how manufacturers, retailers, and consumers should handle electronic waste, including recycling targets and reporting requirements.

2. Introduction :-
• In the 20th Century, the information and communication
revolution has brought enormous changes in the way we
organise our lives, our economies, industries and
institution.
• At the same time, these have led to manifold problems
including the problem of massive amount of hazardous
waste and other wastes generated from electric products.
• It constitutes a serious challenge to the modern societies
and require coordinated effects to address it for achieving
sustainable development.

3. Literature Review
In a 2011 report, "Ghana E-Waste Country Assessment", found that of
215,000 tons of electronics imported to Ghana, 30% were brand new and
70% were used. Of the used product, the study concluded that 15% was
not reused and was scrapped or discarded.
In a study by Jalal Uddin (2012). Through innovative changes in product
style below EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY (ERP), the use of
environmentally friendly
According to Vijay N. Bhoi et al. (2014), most of the waste is inherently
dangerous. It will degrade to provide leachate, which can contaminate
water, and make lowland gas, that is explosive. Additionally, owing to the
risks related to lowland sites, endly substitutes for dangerous

4. What is E- Waste ?
• E-waste is the popular name for discarded electrical
and electronic equipment with all of their peripherals
at the end of their life
• We lives in a technologically flooded era. Where
devices such as cell phones, computers, television,
and many more have become a part of our lives. But
when these devices stop serving their purpose, they
become e- waste , and are thrown away by us .using
improper disposal methods, that could affect many
lives on earth soon.
• Because these devices are made of toxic substances

7. E-Waste production in India
• According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), more than
one million tonnes of e-waste was generated in India in the year
2019-20. There was an increase of 7 lakh tonnes in e-waste in the
year 2019-20 as compared to the year 2017-18. In contrast, the
capacity for decomposition and recycling of e-waste has not
increased.
• In 2018, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change told
the tribunal that 95 percent of e-waste in India is recycled by the
informal sector, and most scrap dealers dispose of it unscientifically
by burning it or through acid. goes.

11. E- Waste generate across India from 2007 to
2025 :-

12. Growing E- waste Globally
• E-waste is referred to as the world’s fastest growing solid waste
stream. Since 2000, e-waste amounts have grown from 20 million to
50 million tonnes per year. A new report from the United Nations
University-hosted Solving the E-waste Problem (StEP) Initiative,
published together with UN Environment, highlights future e-waste
scenarios. Under a baseline scenario, the amount of e-waste will
more than double by 2050, to reach approximately 111 million tonnes
per year.

13. How these Become E-Waste ?
• Advancement in technology.
• Changes in style fashion and
status
• Nearing the end of their
useful life
• Not taking precautions while
handling them.

14. Effects of E-waste on the Environment :-
. Emission from E- Waste create environment
damage
. Toxic chemicals from e-waste enter the “Soil-
crap-food
pathway”
. These are non-biodegradable and cause soil
pollution
. E-Waste dumping yards and nearly places are
polluted and cause health harzards

15. Effects on Human health :-
• Damage to central and peripheral nervous systems, blood systems and
kidney damage.
• Affects brain development of children.
• Chronic damage to the brain.
• Respiratory and skin disorders due to bioaccumulation in fishes.
• Asthmatic bronchitis.
• DNA damage.
• Reproductive and developmental problems.
• Immune system damage.
• Lung Cancer.
• Damage to heart, liver and spleen

16. What is E-waste management ?
E-waste management is a process to
collect e-waste, recover and recycle
material by safe methods, dispose of
e-waste by suitable techniques to
reduce its adverse impacts on
environment.

17. Why E-waste Management ?

18. E-Waste Management Includes the Following
Activities :-

19. Methods of E-waste Management :-
Reuse
Reduce
Methods of E-
waste
management
Recycle

20. Reduce:-
• We should try to reduce the
generation of e-waste by
purchasing the electronic or
electrical devices only according
to our need.
• Good maintenance of electronics
devices also increases the life of
the devices.

21. Reuse:-
• It is the process of re-using the
electronic or electric waste after
slight modification.
• The process of re-selling old
electronic goods at lower prices is
called refurbishing.

22. Recycle :-
• Recycling is the process of conversion of
electronic devices into something that can be
used again and again in some or the other
manner.
• Only those products should be recycled that
cannot be repaired, refurbished or re-used.
• To promote recycling of e-waste many
companies and NGOs are providing door-to-
door pick up facilities for collecting the e-
waste from homes and offices.

23. E-Waste Management in India:
• The government passed the first law on e-waste management in
2011, based on Extended Producer Responsibility
• Thereafter, the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 were enacted in
supersession of the 2011 Rules.
• O A manufacturer, dealer, refurbisher and Producer Responsibility
Organization (PRO) were also brought under the ambit of these Rules
• E-Waste (Management) Amendment Rules, 2018 objective is to
channelize the e-waste generated in the country towards authorized
dismantlers and recyclers in order to further formalize the e-waste
recycling sector..

24. Responsibilities of the Government :-
• Governments should set up regulatory agencies in each state, which
are vested with the responsibility of coordinating and consolidating
the regulatory functions of the various government authorities
regarding hazardous substances.
• Governments should enforce strict regulations against dumping e-
waste in the country by outsiders.
• Governments should explore opportunities to partner with
manufacturers and retailers to provide recycling services.

25. Responsibilities of the Citizen
• Recycling raw materials from end-of-life electronics is the
most effective solution to the growing e-waste problem.
• E-wastes should never be disposed with garbage and other
household wastes. This should be segregated at the site and
sold or donated to various organizations.
• Reuse, in addition to being an environmentally preferable
alternative, also benefits society. By donating used
electronics, schools, non-profit organizations, and lower-
income families can afford to use equipment that they
otherwise could not afford.
• Gather any unwanted chargers, accessories or batteries to
recycle - find national recycling center of the company where
you can take the equipment for recycling.

26. Responsibilities and Role of Industries :-
• Create computer components and peripherals of biodegradable
materials.
• Encourage/promote/require green procurement for corporate buyers.
• Look at green packaging options

28. Conclusion
• E-waste is a serious issue at local as well as global scales. E-waste
consists of a variety of materials, some of which contain hazardous
substances which can lead to severe environmental influence and
public health risks. Hence, managing e-waste in an environmentally
friendly manner is a complicated issue for many countries in the
world. This research reviewed some useful tools used in some
countries. for managing e-waste. Future perspectives on e-waste
management are presented as well. This would assist governments,
policymakers, firms in designing better e-waste management to
minigate e-waste impacts on the environment.
