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.

#MeitY For e waste collection: e commerce websites such as paytm, flipkart etc should be promoted to collect e waste in exchange of offers. like if somebody returns her old mobile phone(working or not) to say paytm then paytm can offer her some discount etc as per the condition of the returned product. Such incentives should be given for all sorts of e products. It will give an incentive to the consumers to return the products. And so collected products can be reuse, recycled scientifically.

Currently in Ajmer, Government has started "Door to Door Waste Collection" wherein everyday the Government Van comes and collects the waste from each household, In the same way, Government can easily collect e-waste in the same VAN.

e वेस्ट को खत्म करने के लिये एक सिंपल चेन की आवस्यकता है। 1• सिटी to सिटी एक collection बॉक्स बनाये जहा पे e वेस्ट एकत्र हो 2• एकत्र e वाटे को राज्य के एक e वेस्ट मैनेजमेंट सिस्टम को भेज दे जो उसे recycle करे। 3• अगर recycling उप्लब्ध ना हो तो जिस राज्य मे उप्लब्ध हो वहा भेजने के लिये रेलवे की मालगाड़ी जिसमे खली बोगियँ हो उसी मे भेजने का प्रबन्ध हो ।

Being a college student I would suggest Students from Colleges as well as schools should collect their old extra stuffs and those electronic, gadget should be given to local government or registered NGO's offices and distributed among needful who are deprived of it from childhood This will not only fulfill the demand of the child but would help him understand about things and childhood with newer way, as well the donor will also understand the importance of stuffs rather being materialist

When i see littering in trains its because there are no bins near the seat. You would think that it is not possible to have bins near seats. But if there is a bin in built at the wall between seats inside in such a way that it is a tube interconnected and collecting the waste in the belly of the train. Which can be disposed of at the yard. We will have a clean train.
