BACKGROUND
Unwanted, obsolete or unusable electronic products such as computers, computer peripherals, televisions, VCRs, DVD Players, stereo equipment, cell phone and
its chargers are commonly referred to as ‘electronic waste’
4
INTRODUCTION & DEFINITION
"E-Waste is a term used to cover items of all types of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and its parts that have been discarded by the owner as waste without the intention of re-use."
5
COMPONENTS IN E-WASTE 6
OBJECTIVES
Minimize illegal recycling / recovery operations
Environmentally Safe & Sound Recycling by channelizing E-waste to registered E-waste recyclers
Extended Responsibilities to producers to manage a system of E-waste collection/take back and channelizing to a registered dismantler/recycler.
To Create an E-waste collection channelization system
Reduce Hazardous substances in Electrical and Electronic components
7
PROBLEMS WITH E-WASTE
Management and disposal of e-waste has become a serious problem among states nationwide.
The problem of electronic waste (e-waste) is growing at an unsustainable rate.
E-waste is now the fastest growing, and most toxic, component of municipal garbage.
Local governments are facing huge costs to handle e-waste, and even greater costs if they do not capture this toxic stream and handle it in an appropriate manner.
8
E-WASTE CONTAINS HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
The leaching of heavy material from e-waste may a pose a potential long term human health and environmental impacts
ground Water especially is more likely to be polluted (note, more half the country reliant on ground water resources)

CONSTITUENTS IN E-WASTE 10
EXAMPLE
Source: Environment Canada11
PARTICULAR CONCERN IS LEAD IN E-WASTE
Lead is a toxic substances which may cause lead poisoning and can be especially harmful young children.
A typical 17-inch computer monitor contains approximately 2.2 pounds of lead
the 500 million computers that will become obsolete between 1997 and 2007 will contain nearly 1.6 billion pounds of lead
12
Much of the focus of managing e-waste revolves around Cathode Ray Tubes.
Includes Computer monitors, televisions, camcorders and other electronic devices contain CRT.
A typical CRT contains between 2 and 5 pounds of lead.
CATHODE RAY TUBES 13
OTHER PROBLEMS
Illegal exporting especially to Asia
Uncontrolled burning and disposal are causing enviornmental problems
The toxicity of some of the substance, e.g. mercury, cadmium may also pose an environmental and health challenge
14
MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL OPTIONS
Due to increased public, regulatory and commercial scrutiny and also a commensurate entrepreneur interest, there has been a diversion from energy intensive down cycling processes to more mature processing systems
This has been largely achieved through reuse and refurbishing
15
REUSE
Preventing waste in the first place is the preferred mngt. option
This can be achieved through repairing, upgrading used electrical equipment
Example- adding memory to a computer, upgrading software
16
RECYCLE
Make use of take back programs
Through recycling units are either reused or dismantled for recycling.
The silver, gold, lead and other heavy metal are recyclable
17
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
18
BENEFITS OF REUSE
Diminished demand for new products and their commensurate requirement for virgin raw material
There is lessened need for water and energy for the associated manufacturing
Less packaging per unit
Availability of tech to wider swaths of society due to greater affordability of products
Saved landfill space
19
EACH ONE OF US HAS A ROLE TO PLAY!
Need for a e-waste policy and legislation
Encourage and facilitate organized recycling systems
Should subsidies recycling and disposal industries
Collect fee from manufactured/consumers for the disposal of toxic material
Incentive schemes for garbage collectors and general public for collecting and handling over e-waste
Awareness program on e-waste for school children and general public
20
THE CLEAN E-INDIA INITIATIVE
The CLEAN e-INDIA Initiative, launched by Attero, aims to establish an integrated eWaste Consumer Take Back Program to help ensure organized collection, management and recycling of electronic waste in a responsible and sustainable manner.
About Attero: A NASA recognized technology innovator, Attero is India’s largest electronic asset management company.
Right now they are working at four locations:1.Delhi2.Hyderabad3.Gurgaon4.Noida

Our Initiative at Department of Business Administration (UG), DNC College,
Nagpur, INDIA
Students of Department of Business Administration (UG), DNC College are planning to make Nagpur city E-clean. They are initiating to collect disposed mobile phone chargers & adapters from nearby areas of college. They would then hand it over to an organisation who deals in organised management & recycling process of E-waste.
24
CONCLUSION
it is important that we create a national framework for the environmentally sound management of e-waste including wide public awareness and education
Conduct detailed inventories of e-waste
Initiate pilot schemes on collection and sorting of e-wastes, including take back schemes and schemes for repair refurbishment and recycling
