3. E-Waste

4. Composition

5. Impacts of e-waste

6. Indian E-waste scenario

8. Rapid growth, combined with rapid product obsolescence and discarded electronics is now the fastest growing waste fraction, accounting for 8% of all municipal waste in European Union (The Economist, 2005).

13. an average 9.5 million customers added every month. Cellular market grew from 168.11 million in 2003–2004 to 261.97 million in 2007–2008 (TRAI, 2007–2008).

14. E-waste accumulation in China

15. Composition of E-waste Electronic appliances are composed of hundreds of different materials that can be both toxic but also of high value . It consist of- 1.Valuable material 2.Hazardous material (DEFRA, 2004)

16. Valuable Materials Gold, silver, copper, platinum etc. are valuable substances which turn recycling of e-waste into a lucrative business opportunity.

17. Hazardous Material The recycling of hazardous substances, e.g. carcinogens such as lead and arsenic ,CRT, Capacitors, Mercury switches and relays, Batteries, Liquid crystal displays is critical and poses serious health risks and environment dangers of not properly handled

19. A typical 17-inch computer monitor contains approximately 2.2 pounds of lead

22. Toxic Materials releases highly toxic dioxins and furans when burned

23. Land filling of e wastes can lead to the leaching of lead into the ground water.

24. If the CRT is crushed and burned, it emits toxic fumes into the air (Ramachandra and Saira, 2004)

26. WEEE generation is about 146000 tonne per year

28. at recycling units in New Delhi (India) itself, 70% of the total electronic waste collected was actually exported or dumped by developed countries (Toxic Link,2004)

30. Unorganised

31. The life cycle of the EEE in India can broadly be divided in to three levels-

32. Level I — EEE generation

33. Level II-WEEE generation

36. Level III-WEEE Reprocessing This stage can be divided into two stages- Pre-reprocessing stage Reprocessing stage

37. In pre-reprocessing and reprocessing stage

39. Management and disposal of e-waste has become a serious problem among states nationwide.

40. The problem of electronic waste (e-waste) is growing at an unsustainable rate.

41. E-waste is now the fastest growing, and most toxic, component of municipal garbage.

43. These countries also display the fastest growing markets for electrical and electronic equipment.

45. Encourage and facilitate organized recycling systems

46. Should subsidies recycling and disposal industries

47. Collect fee from manufactured/consumers for the disposal of toxic material

48. Incentive schemes for garbage collectors and general public for collecting and handling over e-waste

52. Conduct detailed inventories of e-waste
