Abstract
➢ The 20 th century, the information and communication revolution has brought
enormous changes in the way we organize our lives, our economies , industries
and institution.
➢ At the same time, this have led to manifold problems including the problem of
massive amount of hazardous waste and other waste generated from electric
products.
➢ It constitutes a series challenge to the modern societies and require coordinated
effects to address it for achieving sustainable development.

What is E-Waste ??
Rapid growth of technology, up gradation pop technical innovations, and a high rate
of obsolescence in the electronics industry have led to two one of the fastest growing
waste streams in the world which consists of end-of-life electrical and electronic
equipment products such as :
➢ refrigerator, washing machines, computers and printers, televisions, mobile, iPod
etc.
➢ Many of which contain toxic materials.
8
E-waste Generation in India
*Projection by international association electronic recycler (IAER).
➢ 3 billion electronic electrical appliances became WEEE in 2010.
➢ Globally about to 20-50 million tonnes of e-waste are disposed of each year.
➢ Which account for 5% of all municipal solid waste.
➢ According to comptroller and auditor Generals (CAG) report, over 7.2 MT of
industrial hazardous waste, 4 lakh tonnes of electronic waste, 1.5 mt of plastic
waste.1.7 mt of medical waste and 48 mt of municipal waste generated in the
country annually.
➢ CPCB has estimated that exceeded 8 lakh tonnes mark in 2012.
➢ There are 10 states that contribute to 70% of the total e waste generated in the
country.
➢ 65 cities generated more than 60% of the total e-waste in India.
➢ Among the top 10 cities generating e waste, Mumbai ranks first followed by Delhi,
Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, surat and Nagpur.
➢ Main source of electronic waste in India are the government, public and private
industrial sectors – 70%.
➢ Contribution of individual household – 15%.
➢ Rest being contributed by manufacturers.
9
Electronics Waste in Global
Context
➢ It is estimated that more than 50 MT e waste is generated globally every year.
➢ Report of the United Nations predicted that by 2020. E waste from old computers
would jump by 400% on 2007 levels in China and by 500% in India.
➢ Additionally, waste from discarded mobile phones would be about seven times of
higher than 2007 levels in China and India 18 timers higher by 2020.
➢ China already producers about 2.3 million tonnes of e-waste domestically second
only to the US with about 3 million tonnes.
➢ Such predictions highlight the urgent need to address the problem of e-waste in
developing countries like India where the collection and management of e waste
and the recycling process is yet to be properly regulated.
➢ It may cause rising environmental damage and health problems e-waste recycling
if left to the vagaries of the informal sector.
10
Growth of electrical and electronic
industry in India
➢ The electronic market in India jumped from US $ 11.5 billion in 2004 to US $ 32
billion in 2009 making it one of the fastest growing electronic market worldwide
with US $ 150 billion in 2010.
➢ India low manufacturing cost, skilled labour, raw material coma availability of
engineering skill and opportunity to meet demand in the populous Indian market
have contributed significantly.
➢ India's large and growing middle class of 322- 387 has disposable income for
consumer goods.
• Environmental concerns & health hazards
➢ Generation of e-waste in 2012 in India – 8 lakh tonnes.
➢ Annual growth of rate of e-waste generation – 10%
➢ E-waste highly complex to handle.
➢ Pollutants and their occurrence in waste electrical and electronic equipment.
11
• Recycling of E-waste – global trade in hazardous waste
➢ Basel convention on the control of Trans – boundary movement of hazardous
waste and their disposal, 1989.
➢ Conference of parties of the Basel agreement,2006 - to regulate the best moment.
12
E-waste (Management and
Handling) Rules
• E – Waste (Management & handling) Rules, 2011
EPR principal will apply
Collection of E Waste
➢ Generated during manufacturing.
➢ Generated from the end of life products.
➢ Search key West are channelized to a registered refurbisher or dismantler or
recycler.
➢ Individual identification code for product tracking.
➢ Provide contact details of dealers and authorized collection centers to
consumers.
➢ Finance and organize the system.
➢ Ensure safe transportation, storage.
➢ Submit annual return.
• Criticism of the new rule
➢ It ignores the unorganized and small and medium sector, where 90% of the e-
waste is generated.
➢ Does not provide any plan to rehabilitated nose involved in formal recycling.
➢ Collection, and dismantling of E- waste is not hazardous and can be carried out by
informal sector.
➢ Extraction of precious metals is the hazardous process which should be left to the
organized sector.
• E – Waste (management & Handling) rules, 2011 came into effect from 1 st May
2012
➢ The concept of extended producer responsibility (EPR)
➢ The EPR is an environment protection strategy that makes the producer
responsible for the entire life cycle of the product, specially for take back, recycle
and final disposal of the product.
➢ State pollution control board where made responsible for enforcement of the
guideline.
13
Project Scope
An e-waste management project encompasses a multifaceted approach to
handle electronic waste responsibly. It involves setting up collection points,
categorizing and inventory management, data sanitization, refurbishment, recycling,
and proper disposal of electronic devices. Additionally, the project should include
efforts to raise public awareness about responsible e-waste practices, ensure
compliance with relevant legislation, prioritize health and safety measures for workers,
and foster collaborations with various stakeholders, including government agencies
and recycling companies. Monitoring, reporting, financial sustainability, and
continuous improvement are integral components of a successful e-waste
management project, contributing to reduced environmental impact and the
promotion of sustainable practices in electronics consumption and disposal.
14
Conclusion
➢ The quantum of waste is generated over the past several years have posed and
ever-increasing threat to environment and public health.
➢ CPCB have identified over 88 critically polluted industrial zones.
➢ As far as e-waste is concerned, it has emerged as one of the fastest growing waste
streams worldwide today.
➢ As long as electronic product continues to contain an assortment of toxic chemicals
and are designed without recycling aspect, they would pose a threat to
environment and public health at their end – of – life.
