2. INTRODUCTION
 Industrial revolution followed by the advances in information
technology during the last century has radically changed people's
lifestyle.

gadget in all kinds of activities ranging from schools, residences,
offices to manufacturing industries

4. E-WASTE ……. ????
• Waste products of the electronic components that have reached
their end life.
• Electronic products often contain hazardous and toxic materials and should
not be dumped with other wastes.
• Along with China, India is largest importer of E-waste from developed
countries like US, UK and Japan.
• In India 90% of mobile equipment are imported.
• The rate of e-waste generation is increasing by 10% every year.

5. • Mobile phones
• Telephones
• Telephone exchanges Wireless Equipment cables and related scrap material
• PC and TV

6. Source of e-wastes Constituent Health effects
Solder in printed circuit boards, glass
panels and gaskets in computer
monitors
Lead (PB)
•Damage to central and peripheral nervous systems, blood systems and
kidney damage.
•Affects brain development of children.
Chip resistors and semiconductors Cadmium (CD)
•Toxic irreversible effects on human health.
•Accumulates in kidney and liver.
•Causes neural damage.
•Teratogenic.
Relays and switches, printed circuit
boards
Mercury (Hg)
•Chronic damage to the brain.
•Respiratory and skin disorders due to bioaccumulation in fishes.
Corrosion protection of untreated and
galvanized steel plates, decorator or
hardener for steel housings
Hexavalent chromium (Cr) VI
•Asthmatic bronchitis.
•DNA damage.
Cabling and computer housing Plastics including PVC
Burning produces dioxin. It causes
•Reproductive and developmental problems;
•Immune system damage;
•Interfere with regulatory hormones
Plastic housing of electronic
equipments and circuit boards.
Brominated flame retardants
(BFR)
•Disrupts endocrine system functions
Front panel of CRTs Barium (Ba)
Short term exposure causes:
•Muscle weakness;
•Damage to heart, liver and spleen.
Motherboard Beryllium (Be)
•Carcinogenic (lung cancer)
•Inhalation of fumes and dust. Causes chronic beryllium disease or
beryllicosis.
•Skin diseases such as warts.

7. FACTS AND FIGURES

8. SAMSUNG VISION
VISION: Creating New Value through Eco-innovation
Slogan : Planet First
Therefore SAMSUNG introduced the Program
Samsung Take back And Recycling
program

9. What is STAR Program ?
STAR(Samsung Take Back & Recycling) is Samsung India Electronics Pvt Ltd’s
convenient and comprehensive commitment to recycling of consumer electronics throughout
India.
What is STAR Program Unique ?
1. Samsung has entered into contracts directly with recycling companies.
2. Samsung’s recycling partners have committed to not incinerating, land filling, or exporting
hazardous waste to undeveloped nations.
3. STAR provides consumers two convenient ways of recycling Samsung products. These
include drop boxes for portable products in all major locations and collection facility for CE
products.

10. THREE MAIN OBECTIVES OF STAR
•Conserve resources
•Save energy
•Prevent pollution

11. WOW Achievements ::
• This figure is enough for half of India to get new electronic goods in
reasonable prices and give Technological Education to poor people.

12. 2008 Total: 2.2 million lbs.
2009 Total: 14.8 million lbs.
2010 Total: 51.3 million lbs.
2011 Total: 86.8 million lbs.
2012 Total: 92.5 million lbs.
2013 Total: 101.9 million lbs.
2014 Goal: over 110 million lbs.
Record Breaking Collection till Now ::

13. Management of E-waste
• It is estimated that 75% of electronic items are stored due to
uncertainty of how to manage it.
• Waste minimization in industries involves adopting:
i. Inventory management,
ii. Production-process modification,
iii. Volume reduction,
iv. Recovery and reuse.

16. Responsibilities of the Government
• (i) Governments should set up regulatory agencies in each district,
which are vested with the responsibility of coordinating and
consolidating the regulatory functions of the various government
authorities regarding hazardous substances.
• (ii) Governments should be responsible for providing an adequate
system of laws, controls and administrative procedures for
hazardous waste management (Third World Network. 1991).
Existing laws concerning e-waste disposal be reviewed and
revamped.

17. Educate e-waste generators on
reuse/recycling options like….
Government encouragement for hazardous waste management polices.
 Enforce strict regulations and heavy fines levied on industries.
 Polluter pays principle and extended producer responsibility should be
adopted.
 Governments should explore opportunities to partner with manufacturers
and retailers to provide recycling services.
 Governments should encourage and support NGOs and other organizations
to involve actively in solving the nation's e-waste problems.

smelter.
The CRT crusher is completely
self-contained in a
transportable shipping
container.

21. Other components from
electronics are separated and
sold as commodities to
various recyclers.

22. How to dispose of waste
Donate working older
equipment to schools
colleges or
government entities
in need.
If PC are out of order
then return it to the
manufacturers. (HCL
and Wipro in India
has best take back
service)
Send waste goods to
authorised recycling
facility for proper
disposal.

23. HOW a Product End of Life Cycle should be::
