Introduction:
Electronic
waste, or e-waste, is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted,
non-working or obsolete, and have essentially reached the end of their useful
life.
As per E-waste Rule 2016,
the E waste defined as ‘electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part
discarded as waste by the consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from
manufacturing, refurbishment and repair processes.
E-waste
contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, copper, gold,
silver, plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve natural resources
and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin
resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and recycled
instead of being land filled.
E-waste also contains toxic and hazardous
materials including mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, chromium, and chemical
flame retardants, which have the potential to leach into our soil and
water.

·
Protects your surroundings- Safe recycling of outdated electronics promotes
sound management of toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury.
·
Conserves natural resources- Recycling recovers valuable materials from old
electronics that can be used to make new products. As a result, we save energy,
reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save resources by
extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.
·
Helps others - Donating your used electronics benefits your community by
passing on ready-to-use or refurbished equipment to those who need it.
·
Saves landfill space - E-waste is a growing waste stream. By recycling
these items, landfill space is conserved.
