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.

Here is what we can do to tackle e-waste. We can create an economically feasible system of incentives.
Make manufacturers liable to dispose off the gadgets they sell.
Understand with the example:-
1. A printer (MRP ₹1000) sold to the consumer at an additional price, say ₹100 with a promise Co will pay back ₹100 on returning the gadget after its lifecycle.
2. Consumer return the dead gadget after 4yrs to authorized center and gets back ₹100.
3. Co recycle/recover it to the possible extent.

First Govt. must adopt all good ideas at govt offices & buildings. Ex: Why can't all govt. buildings be equipped with solar panels ?

E-waste handling should be made aware at consumer level, people take knowledge before purchasing the product they should show interest for getting knowledge after use also. Printed media as well as social media, t.v., radio should also make aware people of handling E-waste and minimising it at individual level. Start with yourself and others will follow you this should be thinking of every individual. WE CAN DO IT AND WE WILL DO IT.
