Innovative ideas on circular economy in E-waste

Today, electronic waste poses a significant challenge for society. With the introduction of innovative features and up-gradation, people are changing their devices by discarding the old ones, thereby contributing to the generation of electronic waste significantly.

Replacing the linear systems with circular in electrical and electronic equipment intends to maximize value at each life-cycle stage by reusing, repairing, recovering remanufacturing, regenerating products and material.

Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) observes Swachhata Pakhwada 2022 from 1st February 2022 to 15th February 2022 promoting ‘E-waste se Raksha- Swachhata hi Suraksha’. Citizens are invited to share their innovative ideas on how circular economy practices can help in sustainable and efficient E-waste Management.

The best entries from the citizens will be identified by the Ministry and will be featured on the MyGov page.

The last date to receive suggestions is 15th February 2022.

Contd-- If the value of waste is high automatically gets recycled. Heat value for incineration for energy generation by creating small compact plants with rugged design to generate steam for driving water pumps, sewage treatment plants with old fashioned steamengines or new generation turbines should be considered. This should be additional alternative systems to the existing equipments . This may call for additional investment but running cost will be less due to waste incineration. The idea of low value waste disposal will be a boon to swacch Bharath mission. The entire waste disposal activity should be with private participation with safe working environment for all concerned. Govt should reserve land & notify area. For domestic use license or power connections should not be given in these areas for a particular radius. This will help in smooth operation for years to come and safety of all concerned. These activities will create employment, wealth & cleanliness

Contd-- Also encourage MSME for organized, mechanised segregation & disposal. CSIR can broadly categorise for easy methods to reclaim materials. Waste can go into land fill or for road making. Subsidy for processing low cost waste should be considered. Focus should be on high volume low value waste items like thermacole, waste plastic carry bags,foam packing materials,hard plastics.For example hard plastics with steel reinforcement could be used for making open launders or thick pipes for farm or agricultural water conveying, thermacole bits can go into concrete articles to reduce weight for non critical applications . If the value of waste is high automatically gets recycled. Heat value for incineration for energy generation by creating small compact plants with rugged design to generate steam for driving water pumps, sewage treatment plants with old fashioned steam engines or new generation turbines should be considered.

Energy conservation is of prime importance An electronic gadget maybe built with rugged design to give a long service.If it's old design may be consuming more energy the owner may not discard. There has to be a built in energy meter design to know hours run,consumption, when to discard specially for high energy gadgets like airconditioners, washing machines, battery inverters, refrigerators. Labels with approx units consumed /hour should be indicated for consumer awareness. Every equipment should have a name plate stored safely inside with protection giving model number approx weight of ferrous, non ferrous, plastics, electronics, rubber, insulation material,quantum of paint used, if any hazardous waste for the scrap buyer to dispose off. Govt should levy a small tax for e-waste management. Also encourage MSME for organized, mechanised segregation & disposal. CSIR can broadly categorise for easy methods to reclaim materials. Waste can go into land fill or for road making. contd--

इ-कचरे का इजाफा और अकुशल निपटान आज एक ज्वलंत समस्या बन चुका है। कतिपय समाधान जिसे साझा करना मैं अपना कर्तव्य समझता हूं: - सभी इ-उत्पादों के निर्माताओं पर वारंटी अवधि के अंदर अनिवार्य रुप से डिफेक्टिव उत्पादों वापस लेकर निर्भर योग्य मरम्मती कर कम दाम पर पुनः बेचने की वाध्यता हो। -जो वापस लिये गए इ-उत्पाद मरम्मती योग्य न हो उनमें से काम करने लायक कंपोनेन्ट निकाल कर दुबारा एसेंबली लाइन में भेजा जाय। - बचे खुचे खराब कंपोनेंट से मूल्यवान मटेरिअल को प्राप्त करने के बाद शेष का विधिवत निपटारा हो।

As it can be understood that there is perhaps no system of collection of e-Waste in villages. It is to be kept in mind that villages are no more villages in isolation but they are part of extended cities due to availability of faster mode of transport connectivity. Villages are emerging as having more consumption capacity than cities. Big companies are shifting their focus to establish selling networks in villages. So, awareness e-Waste shall also shall grow in villages. Washing machines, geysers, ACs, Fridge, TV, mobiles, digital watches, laptop, computers and other luxury items are part of village households. Collection of e-Waste shall increase in villages.
