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.

Manufacturers shall change the marketing strategy. They shall think to widen the customer base to remote areas and villages than concentrate to sell mostly near metros. This will help them in increasing the sale volumes. With this they can increase the reliability of the products so that products can last longer without affecting the sale volumes. This will help in generating lesser e-waste per million people.

The second stage is Storage. While safe storage may not appear critical, it can prove very important. For example, the glass screens of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) TVs and monitors are highly contaminated by lead. In the past, they were recycled into new computer monitors, but the growth of new technology and subsequent decline in demand for CRT products means much of this glass is now simply being stored indefinitely.

The first stage in the recycling process for e-waste is the collection of electronic products through recycling bins, collection locations, take-back programs, or on-demand collection services. The mixed e-waste is then taken to specialized electronics recyclers. Best practice dictates that e-waste should be separated by type at this stage of the process, which is why many collection sites will have different bins or boxes for different items. This is especially important for e-waste containing batteries, which require special treatment and can be very damaging if mixed with other waste.

Handling e-waste is crucial – not only from a security point of view, but also from the environment standpoint. E-waste if not properly processed could cause more harm after the end of life than it ever did during its use. We care about the sensitive data that organizations may have on electronic equipment. We care about the end of life equipment which could be used to extend the life of another product. We care – when useful electronics wind up in landfills and pose a hazard to the environment. We help make things better by recycling and refurbishing electronic products.

E-waste is not a challenge but a big problem today. The best solution is the recycling of the E-waste. For this, we can run a scheme that whoever collects the most electronic waste material and makes it available to the government, will be given some incentives and certificates. In this way no person will throw the waste material of the house anywhere and small industries will get the same for recycling. Also, every person has to take a pledge that what is worth burning should not be thrown away and the rest worth selling should be given to the junk person so that he can also earn his livelihood.

We use stringent procedures to ensure that the e-waste is handled with care. 1. e-Waste Collection and Transportation 2. Sorting and Shredding if required 3. Categorizing into core materials and components 4. Dust Extraction and Magnetic separation 5. Preparing the recycled materials for sale.

इलेक्ट्रॉनिक कचरा हमारे देश के लिए एक बड़ी चुनौती है। 1. इस समस्या को हल करने का सबसे अच्छा तरीका इलेक्ट्रॉनिक कचरे का पुनर्चक्रण है। 2. इलेक्ट्रॉनिक उत्पादों पर निर्भरता कम से कम और स्थिति के अनुसार होनी चाहिए। 3. इलेक्ट्रॉनिक उत्पादों का बहु-उपयोग ई-कचरे पर नियंत्रण करने का एक तरीका है। 4. इलेक्ट्रॉनिक उत्पादों के उत्पादन के लिए हरित प्रौद्योगिकी का उपयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
