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, Using E waste we are able to create plastic roof sheding material for houses. There is another thing that we can create hard plastic pevors or bricks for poothpath or any walking zone on road. Making use of e waste we can create plastic name plates or road side directions or directives.

e-waste is all items like machine ,parts/components to recover. e-waste always have some parts/components to recover. If rag pickers are trained by some interested NGOs, in what to look for and pay to them very minimal for their efforts.Our e-repair business & poor rag pickers both could benefit. Like they in picking plastic bags/bottles.we have share our concern number of time to your team that due to instant change in policy numberof container has been stuck in port.we were not been informed

The waste can be used for some other things. 1)CDs can be used to make art works, many ideas can be viewed on pinterest. 2)If we have good and efficient service centres which can use items from one of product into another. This was very much popular some 20yrs back when people used to reuse old electrics, tapes , records for other useful work. The more it is used again and again, the least is available as a waste. Nowadays, use and throw is more in culture.Need to educate people.

To use the e-waste in road filling works, untaken in most of the cities. This way we save our Oceans, and rivers and surroudings getting polluted with e-waste,which is also harmful even if destroyed by fire.
