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.

Buying things we simply do not need is probably the biggest cause of e-waste. We have to be organized enough to know what we have in order to prevent buying duplicates. If you don’t need a thing, donate it so someone else can use it. Before you purchase a new gadget at a store, ask the store if they’ll buy back your old camera, laptop, or any other electronic. Sell your electronic items as soon as you don’t need them; they lose value rapidly when newer models come on the market.

1) Enable & encourage the local garbage vendors(Raddiwalas) to collect e-waste. 2) E-waste collection centers to be started at locallevel. 3) Encourage the manufacturers and sellers to re-purchase the products suitable for re-use or re-cycle (products like Tv/AC remote controls, wires,plugs, digital boxes etc are normally disposed off with normal garbage as there is no other way to dispose them).

The situation may seem grim, but innovators are coming up with solutions. One of the solutions is for electronics manufacturers to stop using dangerous, hazardous materials when constructing electronics.Another helpful solution is for manufacturers to start taking responsibility for the full life cycle of their electronics, taking back electronics for safe recycling, disposal or re-use after they reach the end of the life cycle. #swachhBharat #MeitY #mygov

#MeitY must spread more awareness of the e-waste collection centres. Encourage consumers to contact these centres instead of dumping e-waste into the regular garbage. Collection centres must be near areas of heavy consumption. As per the list on GREENE website the centres are far away from corporate & residence areas. Hence the e-waste collection centres must publicise and organise #SwachhBharat camps in residence areas to encourage people utilise them
