Every year, an estimated 11.2 billion tons of solid
· Growth in the IT and communication sectors has enhanced the usage of the electronic equipment exponentially. Faster upgradation of electronic product is forcing consumers to discard old electronic products very quickly, which, in turn, adds to e-waste to the solid waste stream. The growing problem of e-waste calls for greater emphasis on recycling e-waste and better e-waste management.
· Recycling practices of e-waste. Recycling of e-waste, especially EOL-EEEs, such as computers and mobile phones, provides lucrative business opportunity for extraction of valuable metals such as gold, silver, copper, lead, etc. Currently, e-waste recycling in India, especially processing, to a large extent, almost 95%, remains confined to the unorganized sector, which due to its inaccessibility
E-waste contains both valuable materials such as gold, palladium, silver and copper, it also contains harmful substances like lead, cadmium and mercury. In the absence of suitable techniques and protective measures, recycling e-waste can result in toxic emission to the air, water and soil and pose a serious health and environmental hazard. MEANING
· Across India, existing systems for the collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste are mired in chaos. The problem is more acute in the urban areas, where rapidly growing populations generate increasingly larger quantities of solid waste that urban local bodies (ULBs) are unable to manage effectively.
· Solid waste recycling refers to the reuse of manufactured goods from which resources such as steel, copper, or plastics can be recovered and reused. Recycling and recovery is only one phase of an integrated approach to solid waste management that also includes reducing the amount of waste produced, composting, incinerating, and landfilling.
Just because an item is made from plastic, or contains plastic parts, doesn’t mean recycling facilities can handle it. There are other resources (e.g., Earth911) that can help answer questions about what to do with non-recyclables or hazardous waste.
· Market Research IndiaWaste Management Market in India 2009. 1. Waste Management ‐Waste Management IndiaAugust 2009. 2. Executive Summary Waste management market comprises of four segments ‐ Municipal Waste, Industrial Waste, Bio‐ Medical Waste and Electronic Waste Market Waste collection is usually done on a contract basis.
· Material recovery processes are presented as the optimum option for recycling plastic wastes as a means of recovering hydrocarbon resources. There exist a large variety of automated material recovery processes for recycling of such wastes but each with significant limitations.
· Mobile recycling works like any other kind of recycling. The parts of the phone that are useful are extracted, and the rest is thrown away. When you send your mobile to be recycled, then the first thing that will happen is that the recycling company will check the phone’s IMEI number (a number that’s unique to each phone) to make sure that the mobile hasn’t been stolen.
· India is also facing this challenge, like many other developing economies. A major concern in India is the recycling of e-waste in informal units by unscientific, unhealthy and non-environmental friendly methods. E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2016 have so far not been able to completely address these challenges.
· A complete PPT on E-Waste. PPT E-waste or Electronic Waste is the inevitable by-product of a technological revolution. Driven primarily by faster, smaller and cheaper microchip technology, society is experiencing an evolution in the capability of electronic appliances and personal electronics.E-waste is the most rapidly growing waste problem in the world.
· Waste Act of 1990, which set a goal of diverting 25% of New Mexico’s municipal solid waste from landfills by 1995 and 50% by July 1, 2000. In order to manage waste, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Solid Waste Act favor an integrated solid waste man-agement strategy that includes 1) reducing the amount

· E-Waste Recycling Technologies 2013 PATENT LANDSCAPE REPORTS PROJECT (e-waste) recycling and material recovery, while it is intended to provide of rare earth metals as well as extraction or recovery of noble metals (i.e. gold, silver or platinum) from e-waste streams.
· E-waste recycling practices in India and developed countries. Around the globe, regulations have been brought for e-waste recycling depending on the local market and consumer behavior. Canada has a developed recycling industry which is regulated by an industry standard for proper electronics recycling and processing.
· Also e-waste contains precious metals like Gold, Silver, Copper, Selenium, mercury etc. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Recovering precious metals from e-waste can also provide additional income with in the disposal process of end “of life electronics”.
· E-waste recycling is presently concentrated in the informal (unorganized) sector No organized collection system prevails Operations are mostly illegal Processes are highly polluting Recycling operations engage in dismantling sale of dismantled parts valuable resource recovery export of processed waste for precious metal recovery Recycling
· The local authorities are responsible for setting up “the material recovery facilities or secondary storage facilities with sufficient space for sorting of recyclable materials to enable informal or authorised waste-pickers and waste-collectors to separate recyclables from the waste and provide easy access to waste-pickers and recyclers for collection of segregated recyclable waste such as paper, plastic, metal, glass, textile from the source of generation or from material recovery
