Electronic waste management is a phrase that carries a lot of weight in the present-day context. Technology has made our lives easier, however tech products have a limited lifespan – either because we consumers like our new shiny toys or because of planned obsolescence by the manufacturers. Once their utility is served, these products are often dumped along with other waste streams or sold to the informal processors of e-waste. The informal sector utilizes crude extraction and recycling methods, which release harmful toxins in the open environment leading to deterioration of nature and human health. Consumers must ensure that their e-waste disposal is done in a responsible and scientific manner through authorised channels
Here are a few examples of electronic waste that needs immediate e waste management solutions:
• IT e-waste – Personal computers (including keyboards, monitors, mouse, cables), Printers, Scanners, mobile phones (smart and feature phones), and laptops.
According to GSMAdata, nearly 66.5% of the world’s population uses phones. That’s over 5 billion people with mobile devices.
On an average, an individual upgrades his phone every 3- 4 years. And this is just a subset of one type of e-waste.
Do you know where your old electronic devices were dumped? Or what happened to them? Haphazard dumping of e-waste results
in contamination of the environment.
Dismantling and processing of e-waste in the informal sector releases harmful toxins. Workers in this sector – which
includes children – are at a high-risk of contracting diseases because of sustained exposure to these toxins.
The E-Waste Management Rules, 2016 were introduced to fill these gaps in the system; to formalize electronic
waste management and to legitimize formal e-waste recyclers.
Waste management recycling involves recovering recyclable items and components to bring them back into the economy.
