E-waste means any discarded electronic devices or its parts like computers, printers, cell phones, pagers, photocopier, digital photo, music devices, toys and televisions.
2. Among the many types of waste that we generate every day, E-Waste is an
important type. As a result of rapid industrialization and mechanization we have
invented many electronic devices like phones, pagers, computers, cameras, photo
copier, electric bulbs, tube lights, wires etc. when these electronic devices
become obsolete or useless they become e-waste. This waste is very difficult to
process and can be hazardous as well. Thus proper system and process is
required to deal with it. All the secondary computers, mobile phones, television
sets, refrigerators, etc that have been discarded fall into the category of
Electronic Waste.

• Asia estimate of 15 million tons / Year
• Average content metal of 60%, including copper and

past years including 9.28 million in 2007
8. Design for Recycling
It will result in better environmental
performance and lower costs of treatment
It does not stand alone:
• Advanced technology
