The document discusses the categorization and management of electronic waste (e-waste) at MSU-IIT, detailing various types of e-waste including ICT equipment, office electronics, and household appliances. It highlights the harmful effects of toxic substances found in e-waste and outlines a methodology for effective e-waste management, including assessment, inventory creation, and establishing recycling systems. Additionally, it suggests action plans for database creation, collection periods, and the application of the 4Rs (Recovery, Recycle, Resale, Reuse) in e-waste management.

15. Element Harmful Effects
Lead Extremely harmful to the human body; damages
both the central and peripheral nervous systems;
can cause seizures, retardation, high blood
pressure, damage to the kidneys and liver;
adversely affects child development
Beryllium Long term exposure can be carcinogenic, especially
for the lungs. Extreme exposure can lead to a
potentially fatal condition known as Acute
Beryllium Disease
Arsenic Arsenic is a notoriously potent poison; causes
severe damage to the digestive tract
Mercury Attacks the central nervous and endocrine systems;
harmful to mouth, teeth and gums; poses risk in the
neurological development of unborn fetuses
Antimony Toxic to humans in ways similar to arsenic; fatal in
large doses
Cadmium Potentially carcinogenic; Repeated exposure can

19. Methodology
1. Create a team/committee to focus in this
project under OVCPD
2. Assess all electronics equipment, devices,
instruments, appliances, etc. that lead to e-
waste issues
3. Create an inventory system to store the
information of all electronics equipment,
devices, instruments, appliances, etc.
4. Create/collect e-waste Policies, standards and
guidelines and implementation rules and
regulations for all stakeholdersErnesto E. Empig, DiSDS

20. Methodology Cont’n
5. Develop a collaborative information system to be used
by the different offices to effectively use the
paperless transactions.
6. Conduct institute wide trainings to all constituents of
MSU-IIT about PC Recycling and e-waste management.
7. Design and Fabricate e-waste into usable object in the
academe.
8. Commercialize the products of e-waste management
