This document discusses electronic waste (e-waste) and issues related to its management in India. It defines e-waste as discarded electrical or electronic devices that can no longer be reused, resold, or recycled. Factors contributing to the growing amount of e-waste include rapid technological changes, advances in devices, changing fashion trends, and planned obsolescence by manufacturers. The main sources of e-waste are households, businesses, institutions, and manufacturers. Improper disposal of e-waste is problematic as it contains toxic elements and most recycling practices in India involve harmful informal methods rather than formal recycling. The document calls for reducing e-waste by reusing parts from discarded devices to help overcome the challenges.
