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.

recycling e-waste helps preserve our natural resources? Did you know recycling e-waste eliminates the problem that data security poses when e-waste gets thrown away, since recycling firms can eliminate your old data from your unwanted devices?

Keep Learning Just as the technology that creates smartphones and other devices keeps changing, the same is true when it comes to e-waste. In the U.S., 25 states now have laws that aim to either prevent used electronics from being sent to landfills, or that promote recycling. The European Union has established new goals for increasing e-waste recycling rates

2. Education The second most important solution is to educate people about how important recycling is for e-waste. It can begin with setting an example, making a commitment on your own to take any electronic device you have that’s no longer wanted or being used, and bring it to a recycling firm rather than throw it out with your regular trash or toss it in a desk drawer

Top Solutions to the E-waste Problem Nobody expects the amount of e-waste we generate to suddenly drop — in part because prices of new electronics are dropping, making them in much higher demand around the world, courtesy of a growing middle class in developing nations that’s going digital. After all, around the world half of all households have internet access, and more than 7.7 billion people have cell phones

Learning From The Past: Urban Mining In 2016, the estimated value of recoverable materials in global e-waste was $64.6 billion. Unfortunately, just 20 percent got properly recycled. The issue of recoverable material is as important as the environmental challenges that e-waste poses

How Can We Prevent It? Not enough consumers understand that environmental risk, but many of them also don’t seem to recognize something else: used electronics have a lot of inherent value that we don’t realize. The vast majority of electronics can be recycled, and the items within them that can be recovered include plastic, steel, aluminum, copper, gold, silver, and other precious metals.

Our country needs cheep electronic hardware repair institution so that we could develop good trained manpower for repair.Secondly It should be mandate for electronic products company to release service manual in public domain as soon as they stop servicing. Govt. need to expedite this concern. Availability of spairs is a again a problem in our country as we can not afford to rebuy same product in shorter interval. Premature recycling is a national waste.We therefore try to reduce this waste.
