Meaning of E-Waste
● E-waste or electronic waste refers to old electrical and
electronic equipment that have reached the end of their
life.
● Such as discarded computers, office electronic
equipment, entertainment device electronics, mobile
phones, television sets, and refrigerators and much more.
Threats from E-Waste
A. Dispose Issue :
▪At an average we Indians scrap about 200 million units per
year of consumer electronics, according to recycling industry
experts. Rapid advances in technology mean that electronic
products are becoming obsolete more quickly. This, coupled
with explosive sales in consumer electronics, means that
more products are being disposed, even if they still work.
▪Currently major part of e-waste is decomposed by Land-Fill.

Threats from E-Waste
B. Health & Environmental Issues :
Let us understand this point by taking a true example of
Guiyu,China.
Guiyu is known as the largest e-waste recycling site in the
world, and the city's residents exhibit substantial digestive,
neurological, respiratory, and bone problems.Today,80
percent of Guiyu's children experience respiratory
ailments, and are especially at risk of lead poisoning. The
main issue is that these polluted environmental problem
is slowly spreading through its neighbor cites & in whole
country.
Threats from E-Waste
C. Illegal Dumping :
● Thousands of tonnes of e-waste are falsely declared as second-hand goods and
exported from developed to developing countries for dumping purpose.
● Computers and smart phones are among the ditched items contributing to this
41m tonne e-waste mountain, which could top 50m tonnes by 2017, Unep says
in a new report launched today in Geneva.
● It follows last month’s UN University report, which outlined how 42m tonnes of
electronic waste were thrown out in 2014 at a cost of $52bn to the global
economy. Up to 90% of
world's electronic
waste is illegally
dumped, says UN
Threats from E-Waste
D. Imports from Europe & America :
Population Reference Bureau says that currently, an estimated 70
percent of e-waste handled in India is from other nations & further
it is estimated that the same will increase by 18 times.
In year 2011, India imported around 50,000 tonnes e-waste thus
becoming the second largest e-waste in the world.
CNN Report: “China &
India The electronic
wastebasket of the
world”
E-Waste is a Problem
But
Every Problem has its
Own
Solutions
Solutions To E-Waste
A. Recycle :
E-waste contains many valuable,
recoverable materials such as aluminum,
copper, gold, silver, plastics, and ferrous
metals. In order to conserve natural
resources and the energy needed to
produce new electronic equipment from
virgin resources, electronic equipment
can be refurbished, reused, and recycled
instead of being landfilled.
Solutions To E-Waste
B. Awareness :
To get rid of any problem relating globally it is
the best solution to create awareness related to
the same among the people.
E-Waste is still a hidden problem in the country,
majority of people are not knowing the threats
faced by them through E-wastes.
So , Various social program should be conduced.
Help of media can also be taken to fulfill this
task.
Once proper awareness is created then people
will use their electronic devices more
cautionary and efficiently . Thus resulting in
less production of electrical products.
Solutions To E-Waste
C. Proper Law & Regulations :
As far as Indian Law is concerned it lacks
behind in proper regulations over E-waste
in the country.
In the year 2011, E-waste related guidelines
were released by the government. But
seeing the current situation one can surely
say that this regulations are needed to be
improved.
Strict rules regarding the e-waste imports
should be made . Proper regulations to stop
the illegal dumping should be introduced.
Solutions To E-Waste
D. Business Opportunity :
By starting an e-waste recycling business
one can make money out of helping
environment toxic free. The objective to
start an e-waste recycling company is to
create an opportunity to transfer e-waste
into socially and industrially beneficial
raw materials like valuable metals,
plastics, glass etc. by using simple cost
effective technology.
E-waste recycling business is some sort of
complex and capital intensive business.
Before start have a market study on it.
Conclusion
● A continuing rise in the rate of waste production is no longer
acceptable – hazardous waste affects the health of millions of people
and poisons large areas of our planet.
● It is essential that governments and corporations face up to waste,
using what we know about reduction, recycling and reuse, but also
developing new technologies that eliminate waste.
● Lastly, this problem can be solved only by the joint contribution of
people around the world.

  • 5. Images of E-waste dumping ground
  • 6. Threats from E-Waste B. Health & Environmental Issues : Let us understand this point by taking a true example of Guiyu,China. Guiyu is known as the largest e-waste recycling site in the world, and the city's residents exhibit substantial digestive, neurological, respiratory, and bone problems.Today,80 percent of Guiyu's children experience respiratory ailments, and are especially at risk of lead poisoning. The main issue is that these polluted environmental problem is slowly spreading through its neighbor cites & in whole country.
  • 7. Threats from E-Waste C. Illegal Dumping : ● Thousands of tonnes of e-waste are falsely declared as second-hand goods and exported from developed to developing countries for dumping purpose. ● Computers and smart phones are among the ditched items contributing to this 41m tonne e-waste mountain, which could top 50m tonnes by 2017, Unep says in a new report launched today in Geneva. ● It follows last month’s UN University report, which outlined how 42m tonnes of electronic waste were thrown out in 2014 at a cost of $52bn to the global economy. Up to 90% of world's electronic waste is illegally dumped, says UN
  • 8. Threats from E-Waste D. Imports from Europe & America : Population Reference Bureau says that currently, an estimated 70 percent of e-waste handled in India is from other nations & further it is estimated that the same will increase by 18 times. In year 2011, India imported around 50,000 tonnes e-waste thus becoming the second largest e-waste in the world. CNN Report: “China & India The electronic wastebasket of the world”
  • 9. E-Waste is a Problem But Every Problem has its Own Solutions
  • 10. Solutions To E-Waste A. Recycle : E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, copper, gold, silver, plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and recycled instead of being landfilled.
  • 11. Solutions To E-Waste B. Awareness : To get rid of any problem relating globally it is the best solution to create awareness related to the same among the people. E-Waste is still a hidden problem in the country, majority of people are not knowing the threats faced by them through E-wastes. So , Various social program should be conduced. Help of media can also be taken to fulfill this task. Once proper awareness is created then people will use their electronic devices more cautionary and efficiently . Thus resulting in less production of electrical products.
  • 12. Solutions To E-Waste C. Proper Law & Regulations : As far as Indian Law is concerned it lacks behind in proper regulations over E-waste in the country. In the year 2011, E-waste related guidelines were released by the government. But seeing the current situation one can surely say that this regulations are needed to be improved. Strict rules regarding the e-waste imports should be made . Proper regulations to stop the illegal dumping should be introduced.
  • 13. Solutions To E-Waste D. Business Opportunity : By starting an e-waste recycling business one can make money out of helping environment toxic free. The objective to start an e-waste recycling company is to create an opportunity to transfer e-waste into socially and industrially beneficial raw materials like valuable metals, plastics, glass etc. by using simple cost effective technology. E-waste recycling business is some sort of complex and capital intensive business. Before start have a market study on it.
  • 14. Conclusion ● A continuing rise in the rate of waste production is no longer acceptable – hazardous waste affects the health of millions of people and poisons large areas of our planet. ● It is essential that governments and corporations face up to waste, using what we know about reduction, recycling and reuse, but also developing new technologies that eliminate waste. ● Lastly, this problem can be solved only by the joint contribution of people around the world.
