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.

E-waste is increasing around the world.It has increased significantly. People should be made aware about the hazardous effects of e-waste. Every village has a block and it has Panchayat ghar. We should keep e-waste box at panchayat ghar and in return we should give them any household utensils, Bed sheets, Mats, Books for students, specific grains like corn, millets, Ragi, Gram, wheat, rice etc. Government would be able to manage e-waste then.

इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वेस्ट को रीसायकल के लिए ऑफर देना चाहिए और वो कुछ यु हो की जब हम कोई भी नया इलेक्ट्रॉनिक आइटम खरीद ते हो तो उस समय उस प्रोडेक्ट की वेस्ट प्राइस तय हो जानी चाहिये। और जब हम उस वेस्ट मटेरियल को देश की किसी भी दुकान में उस प्राइस में वापस वो इलेक्ट्रॉनिक वेस्ट वापस हो बड़ी आसानी से। इससे लोग ज्यादा से ज्यादा वेस्ट मटेरियल को वापस करेंगे और वो दूकान वाले वापस कंपनी को भेजेंगी। इससे ग्राहक और मैन्युफैक्चरर दोनों को मुनाफा होगा।

All we have to do is to start making new products by using this E-waste. we have to follow the principle of restoration and making the new products by using the old. I am posting some examples to give the better idea about the suggestion. we can use these products in offices, homes and at other places. its all depends on creativity and passion. I can help the government in this project.

As we get more civilized, we get more dependent on technology and automation and machinery etc. Electronic goods should be so produced that they also get echo-friendly or some-other chemical or bio-chemical process should be introduced to dilute them or they would be produced time-bound as to loss their any harmful effect and decomposed into the soil. From the very production stage of electronic equipment we should think that goods are prepared less harmful for the human civilization.

sir LOCAL BODIES may be given responsibility for COLLECTION of e-waste and any INCOME out of it may be ASSIGNED to them for SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT etc. Also the PEOPLE should be ENCOURAGED to donate e-waste to local bodies and get rid of the waste and avoid any harmful consequence. the producing/marketing companies may be incentivised for exchange offers on their products and a free pick and drop facility for those who prefer to exchange. compaign on weekly basis every year for waste collection
