What is E-waste ?
E-waste is a popular, informal
name for electronic products
nearing the end of their "useful
life." Computers, televisions,
VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax
machines are
common electronic products.
Many of these products can be
reused, refurbished,
or recycled.
E-waste resources And Hazards
E-Waste Resources Environmental Hazard
Cathode ray tubes
Lead, barium and other heavy metals leaching into the ground
water and release of toxic phosphor
Printed circuit board Air emissions
Chips and other gold
plated components
PAHs, heavy metals, brominated flame retardants discharged
directly into rivers acidifying fish and flora.
Plastics from printers,
keyboards, monitors,
etc.
Emissions of brominated dioxins, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons
Computer wires PAHs released into air, water, and soil.
Processing Techniques
Sort E-waste
E-Waste Drives Pick- Ups
Drop-Offs
Scrap Product Recycled/
Refurbished
Recycling
Benefits
Saves landfill
spaces
Create jobs for
professional
recyclers
Ecological
degradation is
prevented
Conserve Natural
Resources
Management of
toxic element

i. Recycling
E-Waste Across India
i. 10 States contribute 70% Of total E-waste Across country.
ii. 65 big cities generates more than 60% of E-waste across country
iii. 23 units are currently registered with Govt. of India
iv. Out of total E-waste volume in India:
1.Televisions:68%
2.Desktop: 27%
3.Imports: 2%
4.Mobiles: 1%
i. Recycling
Awareness
i. Encouraging others to take part in reducing E-Waste
ii. Educating consumers of proper recycling methods, and not to dispose of
devices
iii. multiple organizations and programs to promote consumer awareness on E-
Waste, for example "The Electronics Takeback Coalition", which encourages
consumers to recycle their electronic gadgets.
iv. Countries like Australia are coming up with the education programme in
colleges
v. However, nothing is more effective than spreading awareness
i. Recycling
Recycling Associations
1. ISRI (Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries:
i. Associal with 1600 Member companies
ii. 350 companies are e-waste recyclers
2. CAER (Coalition for American Electronics Recycling):
i. 300 e-waste Recycling Facilities
ii. Leading in America
3. EERA (Europian Electronics Recyclers Association
i. Leading in Europe
4. EPRA (Electronic Product recycling Association)
i. Leading in Canada
Thank you!
Conclusion
i. Increasing threat to environment.
ii. fastest growing streams worldwide
iii. recyclable or reusable product design
iv. Need of repeated awareness program
