Electronic waste (e-waste) comprises waste electronics and electrical goods that have reached the end of their useful lives. E-waste contains valuable materials like copper, gold, and silver that can be recovered through processing. However, a major portion of e-waste in India and other countries is currently processed by the informal sector using unsafe techniques like acid leaching and open-air burning, causing severe environmental damage. India generates about 1.46 lakh tons of e-waste annually from both households and businesses.

• Electronic waste (e-waste) comprises waste electronics/electrical goods that use or have reached their end of the life. • E-waste contains valuable materials like copper, silver, gold which can be processed for their recovery. • Major portion of e-waste is processed by the informal (unorganised) sector using rudimentary techniques such as acid leaching and open-air burning, which results in severe environmental damage.
THIS MULTI HEADED E-WASTE MONSTER HAS MANY SIDES. •Telecommunication Waste: Mobile phones, telephones, telephone exchanges wireless equipment cables and related scrap material. • Electrical Waste: Switches, Relays, Connectors and related Scrap Material. • Electronic Waste: Electronic – metal waste, Printed Circuit Boards, E – Equipment and Machinery, IC, Sockets Connectors. • Cable Waste: PVC, Pre Insulated Copper and Aluminum Cable waste. • Chemical Waste: Chemical Sludge and Residue.
E-waste in India As per IRG (inter report gap) report, India generates about 1,46,180 tons of E-waste every year. This is contributed by both house holds and corporate houses. E-waste in USA 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.
Sources of E-waste 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. 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. 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.
Recycling workers manually dismantle most electronic equipment and sort out valuable commodities that are sold to various recyclers. CRTs ready to be "crushed" for recycling. HMR (Hazardous Material Regulation) accumulates quantities like this each week.
The CRT crusher is completely self-contained in a transportable shipping container. Crushed CRT glass, coated with lead, ready for processing by a lead smelter.
Other components from electronics are separated and sold as commodities to various recyclers.
