WHAT IS E-WASTE
• Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used
electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling
through material recovery, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing
of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and
environmental pollution.
• Electronic scrap components, such as CPUs, contain potentially harmful materials such
as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants. Recycling and disposal of
e-waste may involve significant risk to health of workers and their communities.

HOW E-WASTE PRODUCED
E-waste or electronic waste is created when an electronic product is discarded after the end of its
useful life.The rapid expansion of technology and the consumption driven society results in the
creation of a very large amount of e-waste in every minute.
5
The Global E-waste Monitor 2017 shows that e-waste has grown to 44.7 million metric tons
annually. But only 20% of the e-waste generated is documented to be collected and recycled.The
fate of 76% (34.1 million metric tons) is unknown,
E-Waste is growing exponentially because global consumer demand continues to increase.
Moreover, technology uptake and shorter replacement cycles are contributing to the growth of e-
waste.

HOW IS E-WASTE A PROBLEM

CASE 1-
If these items aren’t handled correctly, they can cause organ
damage, neurological damage, and severe illness not only in
the workers that handle them directly but also within the
communities of the developing countries where they are
shipped.

CASE 2 -
The air pollution impact of e-waste Burning e-waste can be used
as a disposal method but can also be a way to get to valuable
metals such as copper.The problem with this method is that
burning can also release pollutants into the air.

CASE 3-
When these heavy metals are improperly handled or disposed of via
landfill, they can leak into the soil and eventually the groundwater.
These heavy metals make the water tables toxic and unusable for the
communities, animals, and plants that rely on them.

CASE 4 -
E-waste has a very negative impact on the Soil-Crop-Food Pathway.
When the soil is contaminated by heavy metals via e-waste the crops,
and the food they provide, are also contaminated.This causes many
of the illnesses.

CASE 5-
Tons e-waste is shipped overseas: Much of this left in junkyard to polluted
the environment or burned for scrap by kids. Informal recycling markets in
China, India, Pakistan ,Vietnam, and Philippines handle anywhere from 50
percent to 80 percent of the world’s e-waste. In Guiyu, China, one of the
largest electronic waste landfill sites in the world. When electronic devices
are dumped in these developing countries the impact is detrimental to the
environment of the country and the health of the people.

CASE 6-
Electronic waste and data security: Managers should be concerned with where
their electronic equipment is going after disposal because they are worried
about sensitive data loss, identity theft, consumer scams, data breaches and
loss of integrity.These are just a few of the problems that can be cause by not
properly disposing of your electronic waste due to people stealing information
from the hard drives in e-waste.

CONCLUSION
14
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the
end of their "useful life."
This raises concerns about resource efficiency as well as the immediate
concerns of human health and the environment. However, many
countries have recognized that need to properly recycle e-waste and
are working on implementing sustainable solutions. International
cooperation and coordination are supporting this process in order to
ensure the opportunities different circumstances are offering can be
used to ultimately facilitate global recycling chains.
