The electronics waste (e-waste) comprises of discarded electrical and electronic equipment, and poses serious challenges globally for improper disposal practices especially in informal sector.

Hon’ble PM has emphasized the need for creating awareness for environmental issues under “Swach Digital Bharat’ during his address at NASSCOM event on 01.03.2015. On the direction of Hon’ble PM, MeitY has initiated the “Awareness Programme on Environmental Hazards of Electronic Waste through Digital India Initiative” over a period of five years to create awareness among the public about the hazards of e-waste recycling by the informal sector and educate them about alternate methods of disposing their e-waste.

Over 95 per cent of e-waste generated is managed by the informal sector. Integration of the informal sector and access to environmentally safe recycling technologies may reduce the health and environmental hazards. In addition to technology, capacity building, skill management, scientific recycling mechanism, business management training are also required for safe recycling of e-waste.

In this context, MeitY is inviting citizen inputs to provide solution for leakage of E-Waste in the informal sector, and suggest proper recycling technology for E-Waste that is economically available.

The last date of submission of suggestions is 4th April, 2018.

For any further information about E-Waste, please visit the GREENE website.

e-waste actually is not a waste it is one hundred percent re-recyclable and has more value in terms of cost. It is also not a very difficult a task to re-cycle e-waste as commonly perceived, all it needs is a proper management and mechanical support, which perhaps needs huge investment to set up a re-cycle unit. Govt. of India should come forward to set up this unit (State wise) and call for tenders to run these units. Once these units are operational with in a year they will be self sufficient

E-Waste Awareness *Reduce - The first thing is to consider whether you really need a new device. *Extend Use - You can extend the life of your electronic device. *Re-Use - If you have decided to get a new device, think about who may benefit from receiving your old one. *Recycle - Many of the components and materials in electronic devices can be recycled, such as the metal in wiring and circuit boards. "When a Human Body can be recycled, why can't we recycle E-Waste"

সাধারণ মানুষকে সরকার থেকে দূরে সরিয়ে রাখার অপপ্রয়াস দীর্ঘদিন থেকে এই দেশের নিয়ম ছিল , যা বিগত UPA সরকারের দীর্ঘকালীন রাজত্বের মূলমন্ত্র ও বলা যায়। প্রধানমন্ত্রীর official App 'Namo App' আজকাল দেশব্যাপী সাধারণ মানুষের সুযোগ সুবিধা , সরকারী যোজনার প্রয়োজনীয় তথ্য এবং মতামত ব্যক্ত করার একটি সহজ সরল মাধ্যম । data leakage এর বাহানা দিয়ে সাধারণ মানুষকে সরকার থেকে আলাদা করার চেষ্টা নিতান্তই নিন্দনীয়।

Reinforce all the electronics goods selling shops, Infrastructure Companies,IT Companies etc to display the board of e-waste and clearly provide a bin to recycle and ensure recycled waste reaches the right place and make the best use of thrown goods to be given to the needy or invent new items. Encourage the parents to share the toys and provide the useless toys to the needy.These things have to be propagated in the school as the modern kids can enforce. Reinforce Recycle ReInvent the Wheel!
