7. WHAT IS ELECTRONIC WASTE?
Electronic waste, "e-waste" or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a waste consisting of any broken or unwanted electrical or electronic appliance.
It is a point of concern considering that many components of such equipment are considered toxic and are not biodegradable.

8. SOURCES OF E-WASTE. IT & Telecom Equipments Large Household Appliances
Small Household Appliances
Consumer & Lighting Equipments
Electrical & Electronic Tools
Toys, Leisure & Sports Equipment
Medical Devices
Monitoring & Control Instruments

9. E-Waste contains several different substances
IS IT HAZARDOUS WASTE ?
E-Waste contains several different substances
and chemicals, many of which are toxic and are
likely to create adverse impact on environment
and health, if not handled properly. However,
classification of E-waste as hazardous or
otherwise shall depend upon the extent of
presence of hazardous constituents in it.

10. Effects On Environment.
Pollution of Ground-Water.
Acidification of soil.
Air Pollution.
E-Waste accounts for 40 percent of the lead and 75 percent of the heavy metals found in landfills.

11. Effects On Human Health.
Damage to central and peripheral nervous systems, blood systems and kidney damage.
Affects brain development of children.
Chronic damage to the brain.
Respiratory and skin disorders due to bioaccumulation in fishes.
Asthmatic bronchitis.
DNA damage.
Reproductive and developmental problems.
Immune system damage.
Lung Cancer.
Damage to heart, liver and spleen.

12. E-Waste Management. Inventory management,
In industries management of e-waste should begin at the point of generation. This can be done by waste minimization techniques and by sustainable product design. Waste minimization in industries involves adopting:
Inventory management,
Production-process modification,
Volume reduction,
Recovery and reuse.

13. The Current Scenario in India.
E-WASTE PILING UP
Mumbai at present tops the list
Mumbai - 11, 017 tonnes
Delhi - 9,730 tonnes
Bangalore - 4,648 tonnes
Chennai - 4,132 tonnes
Kolkata - 4,025 tonnes
Ahmedabad - 3,287 tonnes
Hyderabad - 2,833 tonnes
Pune - 2,584 tonnes
Surat - 1,836 tonnes

14. The Total E-Waste in India has been Estimated to be 1,46,180 Tonnes per year.

16. Approach and Methodology.
Step 1: Identify the E-waste category item.
Step 2: Identify the E-waste composition or determine it.
Step 3: Identify possible hazardous content in E-waste.
Step 4: Identify, whether the E-waste component is hazardous or the entire E-waste item is hazardous.

17. LEGISLATION Basel Convention
1. Trans-boundary movement of hazardous substances.
2. Ban on land, water fill
3. Environment friendly disposal
European Union, Japan, Korea
1. WEEE Directive w.e.f. 1st July,2007
2. Extended Producers Responsibility-Take Back
3. Treatment by the designated facilities
3. RoHS compliant products from January, 2007 17

18. LEGISLATION
India
The Ministry of Environment and Forests in India is currently drafting “WEEE" legislation.
The new legislation to hold e-waste producers accountable for their action.
E-waste/ components, which are hazardous in nature need to be covered under the purview of
The Hazardous Waste (Management and handling) Rules 2003
The Batteries (Management and Handling) Rules, 2001
The Ozone Depleting Substances (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.
Greenpeace International is pushing for more stricter legislation. 18
