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.

The company while selling the products must give options to the buyer that he can return back the products after the end of the product life to manufacturer with some assured money return. Manufacturer must submit disposal procedure of the products to Govt before launching and possible damage could happen for environment.

First keep the accountability to top. If any mistake happened in any public limited company, the Board of Director & MD must be put it in jail and needs to be questioned why they failed to identify and stop? Not acceptable if they report after damage done. Automatically all fall in line. Also get assurance from the MD/Directors that he needs to bring the improvements in System else, Govt must sack them in 2-3 years time.

We can create a web portal where we can give an option to recycle electronic devices and we can set a specific value for that device and the value arising out of it can be used for a social cause. This will help us prevent leakage and proper recycling of E -waste. Also, with the help of municipal corporations, we can set up a recycling plants where E-waste will be taken care of appropriately.

Electrical & electronic devices are the need of the hour for the fast changing globalisation.There should be a chain system where the used or waste elctrical 7 electronic stuff can be taken back by the manufaturer by providing 10 % discopunt on new product.Then the manufacturer can keep track of the devices and either refurbish them at a common place or discard them to raw materials

In India we are having a large amount of e-waste which is being decomposed in normal dust bins and dump yards My suggestion is to create awareness on e wastes and provide some e-waste decomposing units even at all main towns to make our India clean and green.

Source segregation is the best method. It has not been implemented in the fullest. It should be part and parcel of the CLEAN INDIA Project. For e-waste the government can have a collection center and some amount may be paid to the (valid) persons who contribute to the same by the Government. Segregation at the source should be strictly implemented in the big gated community and Government bodies (offices, factories, Govt. residential areas,etc.)

Digital advancements require large scale computing infrastructure capable of handling big data. Development and manufacturing such high configuration hardware requires raw materials which are currently being supplied either from foreign countries or few of the raw materials which are being generated certain places in our country. The currently featured old hardware and other electronic devices which are outdated could be used to serve as a starting material for these next-gen hardware
