E – Waste Management includes the following activities
Collection of E-Waste
Sorting of E-Waste
Processing of E-Waste
Repairing of E-Waste
Recycling
Dismantling
Component Recovery from E-Waste
Residual Disposal of E-Waste
2. What is E - Waste ?
E - Waste :
Electronic Waste comprises of waste
electronic / electrical goods which are
damaged and not functioning well .
• These include items such as
computers, mobile phones, laptops,
refrigerators, air conditioners and
other electronic devices.
• This includes used electronics which
are destined for reuse, resale,
salvage, recycling, or disposal.
3. E – Waste Management
E – Waste Management includes the following
activities
• Collection of E-Waste
• Sorting of E-Waste
• Processing of E-Waste
• Repairing of E-Waste
• Recycling
• Dismantling
• Component Recovery from E-Waste
• Residual Disposal of E-Waste
4. • Electronic products often contain dangerous 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.
• Consumer electronics market growing at 13-15%
annually.
• The rate of e-waste generation is increasing by 10%
every year.

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.
Relays and switches,
printed circuit boards
Mercury (Hg)
•Chronic damage to the brain.
•Respiratory and skin disorders
Plastic housing of
electronic equipments
and circuit boards.
Brominated flame
retardants (BFR)
•Disrupts endocrine system functions
Motherboard Beryllium (Be)
•Carcinogenic (lung cancer)
•Inhalation of fumes and dust.
•Skin diseases such as warts.
Effects of E-Waste constituents on health
7. 40 Million ton E-waste produced
globally
Did you know ?
7 million ton is contributed by India
12 million ton is contributed by China
And these are recycling in dangerous & illegal
manner
8. Issue and
Challenges
Leaching of
heavy metals
from
Landfills and
Incinerators
Exposure to
workers &
communities
Unawareness
(brand new
items are
also kept in
waste)
Less
reuse
Collection
system
Legal
framework
Issues
&
Challenges
In
E-Waste
Management
9. Reusing
and
recycling
• Increase life span of
product
Landfills
• Leaching problem (70% of
Heavy metals in landfills are
because of E-waste)
Incineration
• Fumes of Heavy metals
released in atmosphere
• Municipal incinerators are
giving dioxins
Ways of Treating E-Waste
11. E-waste recycling is presently
concentrated in the informal
(unorganized) sector
No organized collection system prevails
Operations are mostly illegal
Processes are highly polluting
Recycling operations engage in:
dismantling
sale of dismantled parts
valuable resource recovery
export of processed waste for precious metal
recovery
Recycling scenario in India
12. Informal Recycling Concerns
High-risk backyard operation
Non- efficient and Non-
environmentally sound technologies
Occupational and environmental
hazards
Loss of resources due to inefficient
processes
Impacts on social groups- Women,
children and labourers
13. Various legislations cover different aspects of e-waste
The hazardous waste (management and handling ) rules, 1998 as
amended in 2008 for Toxic content – registration mandatory for
recyclers
Municipal Solid Waste Management & Handling Rules for non-Toxic
content
Foreign Trade policy restricts import of second-hand computers and
does not permit import of e-waste
‘Guidelines’ by Central Pollution Control Board ( 2008)
Legal Framework governing on e-waste in India
14. We are requesting you…
If you have any E-Waste,
Plz..Drop them at your
nearest Recycling Centers
Ex :
Mobile Phones at Mobile care centers
TV and PC’s at Repairing or
Service centers
