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.

Government should charge ewaste disposal fee on manufacturers of an electronic item or IT gadgets. Manufacturer will include this cost in selling price. This disposal fee should be utilised to run a ewaste collection centre in every locality and recycling unit.

Ewaste is becoming big problems. It is becoming difficult to dispose ewaste safely. Safety involves all kinds of safety associated with disposal of ewaste like chemical hazourds due to battery, plastics, personal data if left or accessible by miscreants after disposal etc. For proper disposal, there should be a collection centre in every locality in the city where people can give or send ewaste and get receipt of the same for erasing personal data. Thereafter these ewaste should be recycled.

Electronic cards recycling is laborious.There are recyclers who remove the parts by desoldering but needs proper guidence as lead is involved.The job can be distrubuted to backward areas where jobs are not available.The cards after desoldering can be dipped in sulphiric acid to disolve copper circuits.It can be converted to copper sulphate which is pesticide used in farmimg.The fiber glass board could be recycled or used with lean mixture of cement to embedd as tiles in waterchannels
