"E-waste is not a problem that is going away any time soon. In fact it is only going to get worse. By 2017, the volume of our thrown away e-products throughout the world is expected to rise by 33 percent from 2012, and we can expect the weight of this garbage to equal eight of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The amount of e-waste that we produce, including computers, DVD players, cellphones and global positioning products, could rise by a whopping 500% over the next decade in countries such as India. It is crucial to know the effects of e-waste on the environment, and what we can do to stop it.

What is E-waste? – What causes E-waste?: Rapid development of upgraded electronic equipments forces the disposal of outdated equipments. – What makes E-waste hazardous?: All electronic equipments are made up of materials, which are harmful to human and pollute the environment when exposed. The harmful materials used in the manufacture of electronic equipments are Lead, Mercury, Plastics, CFCs, Cadmium, etc. – Current status of E-waste: E-waste now a day’s forces the world experts to turn back, as it’s a rapid growing problem in the developed and developing countries to recycle it or to dispose it safely so that they don’t pose any environmental pollution or hazards. – What caused the current state of E-waste: The lack of awareness about the hazardous & polluting nature of E-waste. And the cost to recycle E-wastes. – How to control E-waste? Reduce and Recycle: When a equipment is not working it doesn’t mean that the whole equipment has spoiled but generally just one part. By trying to use the equipments as long as possible by getting it repaired at service centers helps in reducing the accumulation of E-wastes. On the other hand certain equipments have to be disposed, at that time recycling of them prevents E-waste. – How to recycle?: The recycling of E-waste is not a simple process that can be performed all were, as they deal with harmful materials, and which requires lot of stuffs. The recycle of E-waste is done in many categories according to the material out of which it is made. – Benefits of recycling E-waste: The electronic equipments are made of material or resources such as Lead, Mercury, Plastics, CFCs, Cadmium, etc., which are nonrenewable can be recovered by the recycling process. Thus preventing nonrenewable resources from becoming extinct. Due to the availability of resources by recycling too they may account for the decrease in cost of the equipments. – Why recycling of E-waste is costly: The recycling of E-waste is costly when compared to recycling of other matters. This is because the composition of the equipments are harmful the recycling of which should be done with extensive care in hi-tech manner with expensive tools. The recycling of E-waste requires large labor as the primary aspect of recycling them is to categories them in metals, plastic, glass, etc., for further processing. As major constituent of E-waste is circuit board the de-soldering of which requires labor? These things makes recycling of E-waste costly. – Steps to control E-waste: The major reason of E-waste is the lack of awareness about it among the consumers of the electronic equipments. The control of E-waste can be achieved by creating awareness to the consumers about the hazardous nature of the equipments on disposal while selling the products. The E-waste recycle centers should be in reach of the consumers to disclose them safely to the recycler. The produce of the electronic equipments can implement the E-waste recycle unit

On 2nd October 2014, Swachh Bharat Mission was launched throughout length and breadth of the country as a national movement. The campaign aims to achieve the vision of a 'Clean India' by 2nd October 2019. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the most significant cleanliness campaign by the Government of India.
This presentation is basically is on about e waste management in india , how electronic waste is dumped in india and how waste is tackled in the world as major dumping zone of ewaste of western countries is Asia.
E-waste management, also known as electronic waste management or WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) management, refers to the processes and strategies implemented to handle, recycle, and dispose of electronic and electrical equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. This category of waste includes a wide range of devices and appliances powered by electricity, such as computers, smartphones, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and more. E-waste management is crucial due to the increasing volume of electronic waste generated globally and the environmental and health hazards associated with improper disposal.
Here's a detailed description of e-waste management:
Collection: The first step in e-waste management is the collection of discarded electronic equipment. This can be done through various channels, including dedicated e-waste collection centers, drop-off points, recycling events, and even through authorized electronic retailers who take back old devices.
Sorting and Segregation: Once collected, the e-waste is sorted into different categories based on the type of equipment and its potential for recycling or disposal. Items like batteries, printed circuit boards (PCBs), plastics, and precious metals are typically separated during this process.
Data Destruction: Before recycling or disposing of electronic devices, data security is a critical concern. Data stored on hard drives, memory cards, and other storage media must be securely wiped or destroyed to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.
Recycling: Recycling is a key component of e-waste management. Components like metals (copper, aluminum, gold, etc.), plastics, and glass can often be extracted and reused. Recycling not only conserves resources but also reduces the energy and environmental impact associated with mining and manufacturing new materials.
Disposal: Some components of e-waste may not be recyclable or economically viable to recycle. In such cases, safe disposal methods are employed to prevent environmental contamination. Specialized disposal facilities, often designed to minimize environmental impact, handle the disposal of hazardous components.
Regulations and Compliance: Many countries have established regulations and guidelines for the proper management of e-waste. These regulations often dictate how manufacturers, retailers, and consumers should handle electronic waste, including recycling targets and reporting requirements.
Today e-waste are becoming a major problem for the developing countries. E-waste is defined something
as a discarded parts of electronic devices which contains most of the times, hazardous chemicals which is
deadly for our environment, example is computer components. Green Computing is the study and practice
of designing, using, disposing and manufacturing electronic components in an eco-friendly manner and
Green Computing is one of the solution to tackle with this hazardous e-waste problem which is an emerging
concern towards the environment. The objective of this paper is to draw the attention towards the lack of
awareness about green computing or we can say how green computing policies is being ignored by
developing countries and how developed countries are adopting green IT policies seriously. This paper
also discusses the analysis which has been done on how the amount of e-waste has been increased in
developing countries in past years.
On 12 May 2011 the Bath Branch held a lively meeting at the Bath Spa Hotel at which Simon Drury, representing WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme), gave a presentation on the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE). Simon's presentation really engaged with the members present and a lively evening was finished off with a practical demonstartion as participants were invited to dismantle common household items (and electric kettle and a desktop fan) to try to see how their design could be imporved to make their eventual recycling easier and more complete.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

or recycle their used electronic devices.
13. Responsibility of Govt. on E-waste
management
• Setting up regulatory agencies that are capable of coordinating with the
regulatory functions of the various government pertaining to electronic
waste.
• Government should make stringent laws on the proper disposal and
management of electronic waste by both private and public Institutions.
• Public awareness programs should be conducted at regular intervals in order
create a positive attitude among the public on E-Waste management.
• Encourage Research and Development activities related with E-Waste
Management and release funds if necessary for conducting R & D activities by
private and public research institutions.
• Heavy fines should be imposed on those industries or individuals who does
not follow the E-Waste management principles or dump the E-waste causing
environmental hazards.
• Government should tie up with manufacturers, retailers, industries in
exploring the opportunities in providing recycling services.
14. Responsibilities of Industries for
proper disposal of E-waste
• Industries that generate E-waste must take responsibility of
determining the source of this electronic waste and if the E-waste is
dangerous must take proper E-waste management policies.
• Properly trained and duly qualified Personnel
• The companies have the necessary freedom to adopt their own E-waste
management policies that may include:Standardizing the components
that can be easily dissembled
• Creating industrial products from bio-degradable materials
• Manufacturers of electronic products have the responsibility for
educating consumers and the public about the possibility of threats
from using their products and giving them instructions on how to avoid
them and the proper disposal of E-waste on event of the end of their
life cycle.
15. Euro Norms
• Bharat Stage (BS) emission norms are
based on the European norms followed
globally by all automakers across the
globe and act as a good reference point
as to how much does a vehicle pollute.
• signifies the emission regulation
standards set by Indian regulatory
bodies.
• BS-IV norm- For BS-IV compliant
vehicles, BS-IV standard fuel is required.
The government has spent investment
to the tune of thousands of crores over
past years in upgrades of refineries.
• The government has announced intent
in the past to move directly from BS-IV
to BS-VI in the future as there is not
much difference between BS-V and BS-
VI. It plans to bring BS-VI by 2020.
16. Conclusion
Ewaste is is a relatively new segment in the global problem of waste
removal. It is also the fastest growing segment worldwide in
discarded waste. This growing problem in the world is largely ignored
or misunderstood. Many people do not understand what it is or how
it affects them, the world, or the environment. Much of the ewaste
in developing nations is being exported to developing countries like
India,China,Pakistan and Nigeria etc. The dumping of these
materials following the harvesting of scrap can lead to contamination
of soil or water, damaging an area's environment and potentially
their food sources.
The purpose of this presentation is to make students aware of the
problems intended to increase awareness of this global situation and
encourage students to research not only the problem, but potential
solutions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzuXQUD9Rkg
