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.

Respected Sir in order to recycle E-waste Government must install collections centers at bus stop, Metro Stations, city Mall, Railway stations, thus E-waste can be easily collected from citizen and in exchange they will get money or points for their dumping e- waste at collection center.

Honourable ministry of Electronics and IT - eWaste management is collecting and recycling. Small level individual collections can be done with recycling bins and corporate ewaste can be collected and would recommend to create newgovernment programs and facilities for various electronic manufacturers to collect and recycle for their own use. Which cleans environment, benefits electronic industry and in turn the government and environment. Regards, Indian Citizen

Honourable ministry of Electronics & Information Technology As far as we know, green waste can be used as manure an compost etc...... but can we figure out a way to use this green waste as fuel cells, if we find that solution then our natural non-renewable resources deposits will not perish from this Earth. I only want to say if we combine technology with environment then our Mother Earth will be more happier than ever. Thank you!

My Idea is : Like muncipal dustbins, we need to have dustbins with special colours installed in every street, so that people may dump e-waste in the bin. Weekly collection of e-waste by workers are required to be scruitinized by authorities and recyclables must be handled separately. Jai hind.

computers are being scrapped due to upgraded technology.we should be able to salvage some of the parts.For example power supply card,cooling fan for small wood chula with suitable arrangments to give better combustion & save Lpg.Also solar energy panels could be connected in remote areas to the fan with battery backup. Similarly LED bulbs from scrapped smart phones,screen converted to white light for small lighting in conjuction with sloar panels and battery backup in remote areas

Village and town area problem is under control by some activeness where this type of e-waste is some and in a month waste is not more then 5 Kwintal after 2 / 3 months waste and related employee both are under control.When you are success in some area and then you are policy maker.
