Introduction
Electronic products have made our life easy bysaving time and being efficient. Now it has
become difficult for us to function without electronicequipments.
Communication systems have revolutionaries byway of mobile phones. Entertainment products liketelevision and music system have addedenjoyment to our life.
Electronic products, which were once thought to beluxury, have presently become a need.

From villages to cities, all of them have using
electronic products either in the form of radio ora high tech computer.
Increase in the use of electronic products have
resulted in increase in production of theseproducts and hence created a new waste, which
is termed as Electronic waste or E-waste.
The E-Waste is one of the fastest growing
environmental problems of the world, as there isa lack of awareness among people about its
treatment and serious impacts.

E-Waste Generation Scenario
A. International Scenario:
In USA, it accounts 1% to 3% of the total municipal
waste generation.
In European Union (EU), e-waste is growing three timesfaster than average annual municipal solid wastegeneration. A recent source estimates that total amount
of e-waste generation in EU ranges from 5 to 7 milliontonnes per annum or about 14 to 15 kg per capita andis expected to grow at a rate of 3% to 5% per year.
In developed countries, currently it equals 1% of totalsolid waste generation and is expected to grow to 2%
by 2010.

B. Indian Scenario:
o Sixty-five cities in India generate more than 60% of the
total e-waste generated in India.o Ten states generate 70% of the total e-waste generated
in India includes Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, AndhraPradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Delhi, Karnataka,Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab.
o Among top ten cities generating e-waste, Mumbai ranksfirst followed by Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata,Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Pune, Surat and Nagpur.
o In India, increased demand for the key products like PC,TV, and Telephones in last 5-10 year has beenresponsible for the increasing amount of e-waste
generation.

C. Bangalore Scenario:
One of the third biggest generators of e-waste in India
is BANGALORE. The population and economy in Bangalore is growing
rapidly partly due to the boom in the IT sector.
At present Bangalore generates about 8000 tons ofcomputer waste annually.
The expected growing investments in electronics fromprivate households and the investments that alreadytake place in the IT sector implicate that e-waste inBangalore is increasing and that it has to be managedappropriately.

Need of E-Waste Recycling
E-Waste (electronics waste) is one of the fastest growing forms of toxic
waste in the world. Considering our current age of technology, i.e.,
computers, cell phones, ipods, etc.,
However, whats so surprising to most people is that E-Waste is toxic.
Electronics are just a casement of plastics and metals and when youtake a closer look at the different elements that go into making up the
many electronic components and processes, E-Waste is a lot more than
just metal and plastic. Some of the toxic substances of E-Waste include heavy metals like
Mercury, Cadmium and Lead, as well as, potential carcinogenicsubstances like polychlorinated biphenyls.
With that spectacular growth comes the very real problem of what to do
with the old ones.
Almost 99 percent of an electronic product can be recycled.

(1) Collection of E-Waste
Due to rapid change in technologies, we find large number of
electronic gadgets becoming obsolete.
The first stage basically deals with proper collection of all the
wastages. However this is not well organized in INDIA.

(2) Safe storage
This mainly deals with storage of E-Waste.
Since E-Waste is found in many forms it is always advisable to
segregate material and stock different material at various yards.
This always is done manually in India. In organized sectors it isdone at collection points itself.
Figure shows proper storage of collected materials,

(3) Manual dismantling & sorting (Step 1)
The first step in the recycling process is the removal of criticalcomponents from the e-waste in order to avoid dilution of and / or
contamination with toxic substances during the downstream
processes. Critical components include, e.g., lead glass from CRT
screens, CFC gases from refrigerators, light bulbs and batteries. In
India & in most of the developing countries it is done manually.

(4) Automated/Mechanical separation (Step 2)
Automated/Mechanical processing is the next step in e-wastetreatment.
Normally an industrial large scale operation to obtain concentrates
of recyclable materials in a dedicated fraction and also to further
separate hazardous materials.

(5) Material recovery/Refining (Step 3)
The third step of e-waste recycling is recovery/refining.
During the refining process, to three flows of materials is paid
attention: Metals, plastics and glass.
Refining includes mechanical, thermal and chemical processes.

(6) Hazardous material segregation & disposal
This technique could eliminate waste disposal costs, reduce rawmaterial costs and provide income from a salable waste.
A number of physical and chemical techniques are available to
reclaim a waste material such as reverse osmosis, electrolysis,
condensation, electrolytic recovery, filtration, centrifugation etc.
Landfilling is one of the most widely used methods of wastedisposal.

E-Waste Effects
Effects on Environment
Pollution of Ground-Water.
Acidification of soil.
E-Waste accounts for 40 percent of the lead and 75 percent of
the heavy metals found in landfills.
The metallic parts of obsolete computers are considered
hazardous for the environment, as they contain poisonous
chemicals.

The role of citizens in E-Waste Management
include
Donating electronics for reuse, which extends the lives ofvaluable products and keeps them out of the waste managementsystem for a long time.
While buying electronic products, opting for those that are made
with fewer toxic constituents, use recycled content, are energyefficient, are designed for easy upgrading or disassembly, useminimal packaging and offer leasing or take back options.
Building of consumer awareness through public awareness
campaigns is a crucial point that can attribute to a new responsiblekind of consumerism.

Takeback
Individuals looking for environmentally-friendly ways in
which to dispose of electronics can find corporateelectronic takeback and recycling programs across the country.
Corporations nationwide have begun to offer low-cost to no-cost
recycling, open to the public in most cases, and have opened
centers nationally and in some cases internationally. Such
programs frequently offer services to take back and recycleelectronics, including mobile phones, laptop and desktop
computers, digital cameras, and home and auto electronics.
Companies such as Staples, Toshiba and Gateway offer
takeback programs that provide monetary incentives for recyclableand/or working technologies.
Though helpful to both the environment and its citizens, there are
some downsides to such programs.

Case Studies on E-Waste Recycling
8/8/2019 Ewaste Recycling
32/43
E-waste recycling in Switzerland: The Switzerland
case study Switzerland, with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, is
also among its most technologically advanced countries. The total
installed PC base in Switzerland is 3.15 million PCs, which translates
into one PC for almost every two persons over 99% of the households
have refrigerators and over 96% have TVs.
Lindhqvist (2000), one of the pioneers of EPR, defines it as ban
environmental protection strategy to reach an environmental
objective of a decreased total impact from a product, by making
the manufacturer of the product responsible for the entire life cycleof the product and especially for the take back, recycling and final
disposal of the product. Legislation on e-waste management was
introduced into Switzerland only in 1998, when the Ordinance on
return taking back and the Disposal of Electrical and Electronic
Appliances came into force.

The collection and recycling of e-waste in Switzerland is an
intentionally developed and organized system. This places both
the physical as well as the financial responsibility of an
environmentally sound disposal of end-of-life electronics with themanufacturers and importers of these products. The entire
operative responsibility is however with the two PROsSWICO
and S.EN.Swho manage and operate the system on behalf of
their member producers. This also ensures that there is a clear
definition of roles and a demarcation of responsibilities. Fig. 1shows a simplified model of the material and financial flows within
the Swiss system.

The New Delhi case study
India, with over 1 billion people, is the second most populous country in the
world. Although the penetration of Indias market for consumer durables is
substantially lower than that of developed countries, the size of Indias
market in absolute terms is larger than that of many high-income countries.
Unlike the sophisticated collection, transportation and recycling system in
Switzerland, the Indian system has developed very organically, as a naturalbranching of the scrap industry which accepts scrap from many sources
including old ships, end-of-life vehicles and building wastes. With the advent
of the electronic age, and as electrical and electronic appliances started
becoming obsolete, the already established scrap metal industry absorbed
this new waste stream to recover metals, which are then used as afeedstock to steel mills and non-ferrous smelters and refiners. Industrial
recycling networks or industrial symbiosis are systems of many different
firms and other organizations and societal actors that cooperate through
common waste material and waste energy utilization.

Comparison of the two systems
From the two case studies above, it is clear that the e-wastemanagement systems in the two countries are very different.
Based on observations of both systems, a qualitative comparison
is done using four criteria:
o E-waste per capita
o Employment Potential
o Occupational Hazards
o Emissions of Toxics

CONCLUSION
E-WASTE shouldnt be seen as a waste
but seen as resource.
Students can use unusable equipmentsfrom e-waste for their research & project
studies.
The fact is that only a very small amount
of discarded computers are being
recycled. The truth is that this needs to
change!
