E-waste Its gravity

• VERY SEVERE
• In USA alone?
• Between 1997 and 2007, nearly 500 million
• personal computers will be obsolete-almost
• two computers for each person.
• 750,000 computers expected to end up in
• landfills this year alone.
• These figures in Europe are much similar.

3
E-waste Its gravity

• In USA there are 500 registered recyclers.
• Last year E-waste generated about 2 billion
  dollars of revenue.
• Which according to reports is just 20 of e-waste
  treated and recycled.
• Where is the rest?
• Africa is becoming a Dump yard.
• Who is next?

4
E-waste in India

• Conditions in India are also not promising
• As per IRG report
• India generates about 1,46,180 tons of E-waste
  every year.
• This is contributed by both house holds and
  corporate houses.

5
E-waste Its implications
Electronic products often contain hazardous and
toxic materials that pose environmental risks if
they are land filled or incinerated.
Televisions, video and computer monitors use
cathode ray tubes (CRTs), which have significant
amounts of lead. Printed circuit boards contain
primarily plastic and copper, and most have small
amounts of chromium, lead solder, nickel, and
zinc.
6
E-waste Its implications

• In addition, many electronic products have
  batteries that often contain nickel, cadmium, and
  other heavy metals. Relays and switches in
  electronics, especially older ones, may contain
  mercury.
• Also, capacitors in some types of older and
  larger equipment that is now entering the waste
  stream may contain polychlorinated biphenyls
  (PCBs)

7
E-waste Its solution

• Reuse is the environmentally preferable option by
  extending the life of old equipments that defers
  the pollution and resource consumption associated
  with in making new products.
• Reuse provides opportunity, to the
  underprivileged who cannot afford or have no
  access to electronic equipment, at reduced or no
  cost.
• Electronic equipments which commercially
  practically not good for reuse or is broken
  beyond repair, may be sent for disassembly i.e.
  salvaging parts, and selling reclaimed materials
  like ferrous, non ferrous, plastic, glass.

8
E-waste Its solution

• Several electronic equipment, such as
• computers, monitors, printers, and
• scanners, contain materials suitable for
• reclamation and use in new products.
• These may include plastic, glass, steel,
• aluminum, copper, gold, silver, and other
  metals.

9
Present Recycling Scenario

• Scrap dealers / kabadis
• Tests for REUSE?
• Takes useful COMPONENTS.
• Ferrous metals sold to metal dealers.
• Precious metals are recovered in a very dangerous
  and hazardous manner
• Rest goes to land filling / water filling-
  disturbs ecological equilibrium
• What NEXT?
