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.
E-Waste: A Hazard to Human Beings and EnvironmentDr Somvir Bajar
Management of the fastest-growing e-waste is a severe problem and has attracted worldwide attention. The electrical and electronic devices have become a part of everyone’s day to day life. Faster upgradation of electrical and electronic product is forcing consumers to add more e-waste to the solid waste stream. The growing problem of e-waste calls for greater emphasis on recycling e-waste. However, recycling of hazardous components in informal sector attracts several health-related problems and pollution to the environment, which call attempts for better e-waste management.
E-waste is a major concern in today's world. It is AN ENVIRONMENT KILLER..!!. Its management is also of great importance. By Advait Vijay Mane, Mumbai, India.

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 – What causes E-waste?: Rapid development of upgraded electronic equipments forces the disposal of outdated equipments.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

WEEE, RoHS and Energy Efficiency in Latin America 2016 Mark Kelleher
This webinar provides attendees with a comprehensive update on new and changing regulations concerning WEEE, RoHS and energy efficiency in Latin America.
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. Unfortunately, electronic discards are one of the fastest growing segments of our nation's waste stream. Electronic wastes, "e-waste", "e-scrap", or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded electrical or electronic devices. Technically, electronic "waste" is the component which is dumped or disposed or discarded rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations.
A range of techniques is currently applied for retrieving components and materials from WEEE. The essential features of these systems generally conform to a scheme of: sorting/disassembly; size reduction; separation.

World Bank estimated, in 2025 the production of municipal solid waste will be 2.2 billion tones worldwide. With this amount, we are more and more polluting our own environment. Seven to eight percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions arise from continued landfilling. EfW (WtE) does not only decrease the volume of waste, it also protects natural resources like land and water. There is no additional need for landfills, where leakage can occur and pollute our tap water. It also protects air and climate because the regulations by law for EfW are more stringent than for coal fired power plants or any other industry. EfW plants decrease the greenhouse gases which come from landfill.
Today we all are surrounded by huge pollution.They are ready to attack us all together in the form of Air-pollution,water-pollution,sound-pollution etc.Electronic wastes are one of them which are dominating our lives and livings.If it is ignored or under-estimated now then it will be too late for our future generations to get control over it.So we should come all together in a wrestling ring against these pollutions and kick them away from our environment and eco-system.
Unemployment – and underemployment – has been one of the most significant problems for university graduates and their non-graduate peers alike since the financial crisis of 2008.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

y s po ta t
1.5m tonnes of (WEEE) were put onto the market last year.
550,000 tonnes was collected for recycling
WEEE is increasing at a rate three times that of average
municipal waste growth.
The increase of WEEE relates to a number of factors:
General increase in use of electronic and electrical equipment.
Frequent upgrading of equipment.
Relatively high cost of repair compared to the p
y g p p purchase of new equipment.

8. What are the objectives of the Directive ?
The WEEE Directive has 3 main Objectives:
1. The prevention of the generation of Waste Electronic and Electrical
Equipment.
2. The drive markets for the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of
such wastes.
3.
3 Minimising the environment risks and impacts associated with the
treatment and disposal of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment.
