4. ELECTRONIC WASTE
( E-WASTE )
INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION
AND TECHNOLOGY

5. WHAT IS ELECTRONIC WASTE?
• Electronic waste or e waste is any broken and
unwanted electrical and electronic appliances.
• E-waste include computers, Mobiles, Electronic
entertainment and other items that have discarded
by original position.

6. SOURCE OF E-WASTE
• IT and Telecon equipment
• Large & small household
Equipment
• Consumer and lighting
equipment
• Medical devices
• Video games
• Monitoring and tool
equipment

8. MOBILE USERS IN
PAKISTAN
Did you know today
gadget is useful but
tomorrow it convert
into waste?

9. MOBILE USERS IN PAKISTAN YEAR BY
YEAR

10. LAPTOPS AND COMPUTER USERS IN
PAKISTAN
• Almost 6.5millionlaptop users
• Almost 9 millioncomputer users
• Pakistan generates about 48.5 million tons of solid waste a year, which has been
increasing more than 2 percent annually.

13. ELECTRONIC WASTES IN WORLD
• The new study from United Nations University found that 43 million tons of
electronic waste was generated in 2016.
• A rise of eight percent from 2014, the fastest growth of any type of refuse, and
double the rate of plastic refuse.
• It is the equivalent in weight to almost nine Great Pyramids of Giza, or 4,500 Eiffel
Towers.

14. WHY SO MUCH ADO ABOUT E-WASTE?
• An estimated 50 million tons of E-wastes are produced each year.
• The USA discards 30 million computers each year & 100 million phones are disposed
of in Europe each year.
• The environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 15-20% of E-Waste is
recycled, the rest of these electronics go directly into landfills and incinerators.
• E-waste contains several different substances and chemicals, many of which are
toxic and are likely to create adverse impact on environment and health, if not
handled properly.

15. SOURCES OF E-WASTESSources

18. CATEGORIES OF E-WASTES
• Large Household Appliances
• Small household appliances
• IT & Telecommunication equipment
• Consumer equipment
• Lighting equipment
• Electrical and electronic tools
• Toys & sport equipment
• Medical devices
• Monitoring and control instruments
• Automatic dispensers

19. HOW THESE BECOMES E-WASTE ?
Advancement in technology.
Changes in style, fashion & status.
Nearing the end of their useful life.
Not taking precautions while handling them.

20. E-WASTE DISPOSAL
A PROBLEM & CHALLENGE
• Landfill disposal allows heavy metals to leach into ground water.
• Incineration makes hazardous material airborne.
• Acid baths are dangerous and cause water and soil contamination.
• Exported materials are handled improperly
• Most E-Wastes goes to China, India and Africa:
• 1.Workers are untrained and uneducated in safe handling of electronic wastes.
• 2.No Environmental Protection Laws.

21. IMPLEMENT PROPER E-WASTE DISPOSAL
•“One man’s junk is other man’s ‘Treasure’!”

23. RECYCLING
• Recycling recovers valuable materials from
old electronics that can be used to make new
products. As a result,
• we save energy,
• reduce pollution,
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• and save natural resources by extracting
fewer raw materials from the earth.

24. RECYCLING OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES

26. Machinery used for recycling of E-waste

27. GREEN COMPUTING
• Green computing is the
environmentally responsible and
eco-friendly use of computers and
their resources.
• It is also the study of designing,
engineering, using and disposing of
computers in a way that reduces
their environmental impact.

28. ADVANTAGES OF GREEN COMPUTING
• Reduces the amount of pollutants in the surroundings.
• It reduces the amount of heat produced from the electronic devices.
• It encourages the use of renewable resources.
• It promotes effective utilization of natural resources.
• It reduces the risk existing in PC’s due to chemicals that cause nerve
damage in humans.

29. ADVANTAGES OF RECYCLING
Asset
Recovery
Reduction of
need for
landfills
Reduction of
junk and
clutters
Resale and
Reuse
Creation of
jobs

30. CONCLUSION
• As far as the e-waste is concerned it has emerged as one of the fastest growing waste
streams world wide today.
• Electronic equipment is one of the largest know sources of heavy metals without
effective collections, reuse, and recycling systems, they will be dangerous to
environment.
• Reuse and recycling of electronic equipment is a beneficial alternative than disposal.
• Product design by using safe and environment friendly raw materials and most
emerging technologies.
• Awareness of E-Wastes.
• Implementation of legislation.
