e waste and it's management

e-waste and it's management.

E-waste and management|way forward


Electrical and electronic equipment have become an essential part of our everyday life. Its availability and widespread use has enabled much of the global population to benefit from a higher standard of living. 


However the way we produce, consume and dispose of e waste is unsustainable. e waste contain savere toxic hazardous substances such as Mercury, brominated flame, CFC, hcfc. 


The increasing level of low collection rate and non environmentally sound disposal and treatment of e-waste pose a significant risk on the environment as well as on humans.


 Proper management of e-waste also contributes to global warming according to the global e waste monitor 2020 report. 

In 2019, 53.6 million metric tons of e waste was generated globally.


Global per capita e-waste was 7.3 kg in 2019. Asia generated the highest quantity of 24.9 million metric ton e-waste.

 E-waste in Europe was highest at 16.2 kg whereas Asia 5.6 kg and Africa 2.5 kg.

It also projected that global e-waste to be 74.7 million metric tons by the year 2030.


Causes:

  • Rising consumption of electronics.

  • short life of electronics and few repair options.

Way forward:


There is a policy called EPR under the pollution control bureau of India. As per policy, the producers have to channelize their e West to the recycler, second one is awareness of the producer.


It has been seen that the formal collectors or producers must apply for an exchange offer. Neglecting to exchange or with consumers old gadgets or collection of e-waste directly from consumers results in e waste going to informal collector's where consumers get a very meager amount of their scrap.


  • Consumer awareness

  • Right to repair

  • Warranty must be extended to the shelf life of the product 

  • Minimize service working days in service centers.

Example of Ujjain controversy where chief minister Mohan Yadav and his family occupied 168 acres land,  after 16 month the rate of lands rose rapidly up to 3000 square feet from 53 square feet.

If you talk about US President Donald Trump in the month of May, he invested 10 billion dollar in defence contract, within one week  the share rose to doubled. So it signals how internal or insiders are making benefits for their own interest by using special privileged information. All this things are making unfair play o...
