E-waste refers to discarded electronic products such as computers and televisions. Only 15-20% of e-waste is recycled, with the rest going to landfills and incinerators. This improper disposal has negative effects on human and environmental health as electronics contain toxic heavy metals. Recycling e-waste through sophisticated processes recovers valuable and scarce materials like gold, silver, and lead while avoiding pollution. The benefits of recycling include reducing greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and making efficient use of resources to protect the environment.

1. “E Waste”
Electronic products that are
discarded by consumers

3. • E-Waste is the disposal of electronics
products
• Improper disposal affects human and
environmental health because many of these
products contain toxic substances

4. Currently what happens is…

5. • 15-20% of e-waste is recycled, the rest of these
electronics go directly into landfills and incinerators
• Electrical waste contains hazardous but also valuable
and scarce materials
• An estimated 70% of heavy metals in landfills comes
from discarded electronics

6. • Environmental damage on the area
• Seven out of ten kids have too much lead in
their blood if resides in such place

8. All electronic items can be
recycled and from them various
metals and plastics can be
obtained

10. What is E waste Recycling???
How they can be Recycled ???
What can we get out of them???

11. Recycling of e-waste requires
sophisticated technology and
processes
These are not only very
expensive, but also need specific
skills and training for the operation

12. Proper recycling of complex
materials requires the expertise to
recognize or determine the
presence of hazardous or potentially
hazardous constituents as well as
desirable constituents

13. What do we get out of it???

14. Outcomes of
E waste
Printed

ents
casings
CRT
monitors
Batteries

Precious
metals

15. • Recycling is the most effective solution to the
growing e-waste problem
• Most electronic devices contain a variety of
materials, including metals that can be
recovered for future uses
• Air and water pollution caused by hazardous
disposal is avoided

16. Benefits of Recycling???

17. • Additionally, recycling reduces the amount
of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the
manufacturing of new products
• It simply makes good sense and is efficient to
recycle and to do our part to keep the
environment green

19. RECYCLE
DISPOSE
REUSE

20. Reuse
• Preventing waste in the first place is the
preferred mngt option
• This can be achieved through repairing,
upgrading used electrical equipment

21. Recycle
• Make use of take back
programs
• The silver,gold,lead and
other heavy metal are
recyclable from discarded
equipments

22. Dispose
• The least preferred option is to landfill
electronic waste
• This should only come as a last option but
care to consult with state regulations on
disposal of any hazardous waste

23. Future…
• An increase in the number of
businesses that will refurbish and
recycle electronic equipment. This will
help keep more equipment in
continued use, and out of landfills
• Additional take back programs by
electronic equipment manufacturers
• Greater use of alternative products,
such as LCD panels and plasma screens
for televisions and computers. These
items contain little or no hazardous
material

25. Each one of us has a role to play
for better future!!
