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.

Today, I watched an episode on Shark Tank where a daughter-mother duo is super talented Entrepreneurs. They run their business with brand name called "Scrap-Shala". They have unique ideas to create new innovative things "made out of waste" and promote their artisans work across the world. People like them promoting innovative ideas to save our mother earth and protect our blue-planet from plastic pollution. आज, मैंने शार्क टैंक पर एक एपिसोड देखा जहां एक बेटी-माँ की जोड़ी सुपर टैलेंटेड एंटरप्रेन्योर है। वे अपना व्यवसाय "स्क्रैप-शाला" नामक ब्रांड नाम से चलाते हैं। उनके पास "कचरे से बनी" नई नवीन चीजें बनाने और दुनिया भर में अपने कारीगरों के काम को बढ़ावा देने के लिए अद्वितीय विचार हैं। उनके जैसे लोग हमारी धरती माँ को बचाने और हमारे नीले ग्रह को प्लास्टिक प्रदूषण से बचाने के लिए नवीन विचारों को बढ़ावा देते हैं।

A 'circular economy' model, which employs not only waste management, but reuse, recycling and responsible manufacture could support the development of new industries and jobs, reducing emissions and increasing efficient use of natural resources. Including energy, water and materials

Waste is a resource but available in a wrong quantity, wrong place and wrong time and hence we are not able to gain benefit of it. So the following may be adopted for circular economy in E-Waste Management. (1) increase the shelf life of E-goods from 1.5 years to 3-4 years. (2) Adding value to the E-Goods during and after their use. (3) Use eco friendly materials in manufacture of E-Goods. (4) Adopt POLLUTER PAYS PRINCIPLE for all the stakeholders in E-Goods i.e Manufacturers, suppliers/distributors, users, etc. Green Production, Green Marketing, Green Supply chain management, Limited use of E-Goods, Green E-Goods management i.e handling, processing, treatment, storage and disposal methods. Together with educating the public on all aspects of resource (waste) management, use of common sense in most/all activities must be promoted. Ministry of Environmental Enhancement must be started which provides technique/methods/ideas to prevent all sorts of pollution and help protect environment

Opportunities of E-Waste Management in India The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change rolled out the E-Waste (Management) Rules in 2016 to reduce e-waste production and increase recycling. Under these rules, the government introduced EPR which makes producers liable to collect 30 per cent to 70 per cent (over seven years) of the e-waste they produce, said the study.

Very recent studies on recycling of e-waste has pointed towards increasing concentrations of PCBs, dioxins and furans, plasticizers, bisphenol-A (BPA), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and heavy metals in the surface soil of the four metro cities of India, that is, New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai where e-waste is being processed by the informal sectors (Chakraborty et al., 2018 and 2019).

Burning to retrieve metal from wires and cables has led to the emission of brominated and chlorinated dioxins as well as carcinogens which pollute the air and, thereby, cause cancer in humans and animals.

The health hazards range from kidney and liver damage to neurological disorders. Recycling of e-waste scrap is polluting the water, soil, and the air.
