The document outlines roles for governments, industries, and citizens in managing e-waste through inventory control, waste minimization, recovery, and proper disposal.
E-waste refers to improperly disposed electronics. Rapid development of new electronics and disposal of old ones has created a large problem, as recycling in places like rural China leads to toxic materials seeping into the environment. One example is Guiyu, China, which has become a center for e-waste recycling, with waste recycling areas being a focal point for toxic poisoning impacting human development and the surrounding environment. Toxins from e-waste like lead, cadmium, mercury, and plastics contaminate water and land, threatening human health and the environment. Efforts are underway to combat e-waste dumping internationally and reduce e-waste through individual actions like recycling electronics and purchasing less toxic devices.
The document proposes establishing a business to extract precious metals from e-waste in India. It summarizes that India produces 3 million tons of e-waste annually, which is increasing by 20% each year and contains 5% precious metals. It outlines plans to collect, dismantle, separate and recover materials from e-waste using an automated electronic scrap recycling system to produce high purity metals, with an expected annual profit of 12 lakh rupees.
What is E-waste? – What causes E-waste?: Rapid development of upgraded electronic equipments forces the disposal of outdated equipments. – What makes E-waste hazardous?: All electronic equipments are made up of materials, which are harmful to human and pollute the environment when exposed. The harmful materials used in the manufacture of electronic equipments are Lead, Mercury, Plastics, CFCs, Cadmium, etc. – Current status of E-waste: E-waste now a day’s forces the world experts to turn back, as it’s a rapid growing problem in the developed and developing countries to recycle it or to dispose it safely so that they don’t pose any environmental pollution or hazards. – What caused the current state of E-waste: The lack of awareness about the hazardous & polluting nature of E-waste. And the cost to recycle E-wastes. – How to control E-waste? Reduce and Recycle: When a equipment is not working it doesn’t mean that the whole equipment has spoiled but generally just one part. By trying to use the equipments as long as possible by getting it repaired at service centers helps in reducing the accumulation of E-wastes. On the other hand certain equipments have to be disposed, at that time recycling of them prevents E-waste. – How to recycle?: The recycling of E-waste is not a simple process that can be performed all were, as they deal with harmful materials, and which requires lot of stuffs. The recycle of E-waste is done in many categories according to the material out of which it is made. – Benefits of recycling E-waste: The electronic equipments are made of material or resources such as Lead, Mercury, Plastics, CFCs, Cadmium, etc., which are nonrenewable can be recovered by the recycling process. Thus preventing nonrenewable resources from becoming extinct. Due to the availability of resources by recycling too they may account for the decrease in cost of the equipments. – Why recycling of E-waste is costly: The recycling of E-waste is costly when compared to recycling of other matters. This is because the composition of the equipments are harmful the recycling of which should be done with extensive care in hi-tech manner with expensive tools. The recycling of E-waste requires large labor as the primary aspect of recycling them is to categories them in metals, plastic, glass, etc., for further processing. As major constituent of E-waste is circuit board the de-soldering of which requires labor? These things makes recycling of E-waste costly. – Steps to control E-waste: The major reason of E-waste is the lack of awareness about it among the consumers of the electronic equipments. The control of E-waste can be achieved by creating awareness to the consumers about the hazardous nature of the equipments on disposal while selling the products. The E-waste recycle centers should be in reach of the consumers to disclose them safely to the recycler. The produce of the electronic equipments can implement the E-waste recycle unit

E-waste is growing rapidly in India as the electrical and electronics industries have expanded greatly. However, e-waste is currently not being managed properly, as most recycling is done by the informal sector without adequate safety measures. Stricter regulations and formal recycling systems need to be implemented to deal with e-waste in an environmentally sound manner and reduce health risks.
This document summarizes several methods for treating and disposing of e-waste:
1) Incineration reduces waste volume by burning e-waste at high temperatures, but releases hazardous emissions like cadmium and mercury.
2) Reuse involves slight modification of still-functioning electronics like computers and refilling inkjet cartridges to reduce waste generation.
3) Landfilling buries e-waste in trenches, but heavy metals can leach into soil and groundwater over time.
This document discusses e-waste management. It defines e-waste as obsolete electronic devices, outlines its various components and generators. E-waste is growing rapidly due to technology obsolescence and contains toxic materials like lead, cadmium and mercury. Most e-waste in India is handled by the informal sector using dangerous practices, while formal recycling is increasing. Effective e-waste management requires an integrated approach between informal and formal sectors along with policies, collection systems and public awareness.

Classification of Clove sizes as planting material to the bulb yield of Garli...Open Access Research Paper
Garlic is one of the highly valued crops in the Philippines. However, low production yield is the main constraint, specifically in the native varieties that could not satisfy the demand. Among the limiting factors are the use of unsuitable clove size as planting materials. The results revealed that clove sizes significantly influenced the growth of garlic. Large clove size and extra-large clove size obtained average plant vigor with ratings of 5.83 and 6.33, respectively. Significant differences were also found in both fresh and dry bulb weights, with the largest clove size yielding the heaviest weights at 19.36g and 16.67g, respectively. Moreover, large and extra-large clove sizes produced the highest number of cloves per bulb with an average of 19.87 and 19.33 respectively. However, no significant differences were observed in yield per plant and yield per hectare. Consequently, large clove sizes employed as planting material increased the vigor, bulb weights, and the number of cloves with no significant effect on the yield. The study showed that planting large clove sizes (2.0-2.50g) is more promising as planting materials of native varieties like Ilocos white.

Electronic Waste in India:
What is E-waste??
E-waste means waste electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part or rejects from their
manufacturing and repair process,which are intended to be discarded.
What made E-waste Severe??
The rapid pace of technological change in the field of electronics has made appliances for homes and
office equipment both affordable and widely used. The extreme growth rates but also ever increasing
obsolescence rates result in large quantities of electrical and electronic equipment being added to the
waste stream.
The improper way of recycling the E-waste is causing severe problem to the environment.
E- Waste at a Glance:
E-waste is a critical and arising environmental issue
Improper disposal of E-waste is a moral and public liability
E-waste contains dangerous Toxic chemicals
Unauthorized recyclers use dangerous method to extract metals from E-waste which ultimately
effects the environment
Proper Disposal will leads to environmental benefits
E-waste Recycling Facility promises a Eco – friendly recycling of E-waste with all necessary
legal compliances
Market Review:
Rapid growth, combined with rapid product obsolescence and discarded electronics is now the
fastest growing waste stream in the industrialized world.
The growing quantity of waste from electronic industry, known as E-waste is beginning to reach
disastrous proportions.
The problems associated with E-waste in India started surfacing after the first phase of economic
liberalisation, after 1990
The developments, along with indigenous technological advancement, have lead to an addition of
wide gamut of E-waste churned out from Indian households, commercial establishments,
industries and public sectors,into the waste stream
Solid waste management, which is already a mammoth task in India, has become more
complicated by the invasion of E-waste, particularly computer waste to India, from different parts
of the world.
2. 2
E-waste contains significant quantities of hazardous waste, including lead, mercury and
Cadmium.
Improper recycling and disposal operations found in different cities of India often involve the
open burning of plastic waste, exposure to toxic solders, river dumping of acids, and widespread
general dumping.
As per country level Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) assessment study,
Mumbai and Pune falls under the top ten cities that are generating maximum quantities and
Mumbai alone generates maximum among all the cities of India
Total WEEE waste generation in Maharashtra is 20270.6 tons.
Out of this Navi Mumbai contributes 646.48 tons, Greater Mumbai 11017.06 tons, Pune 2584.21
tons and Pimpri-Chinchwad 1032.37 tons
Factors contributing to E-waste
A relative category of e-waste brought along with the hi tech boom, E-waste include all types of electrical
or electronic equipments which have become obsolete or have been discarded due to:
Advancement in technology
Changes in fashion, style, status or perception
Nearing the end of their useful life
Generally understood to refer to any old, obsolete, end of life appliances using electricity which
has been disposed off by their owners.

NeedFor Environmentally sound Management of E-Waste:
Based on the outcome of the studies carried out and the consensus arrived at
the National Workshop on electronic waste management held in March 2004 and June 2005
organised by CPCB and Ministry of Environment & Forests, an assessment was made:
Increasing amount of E- Waste:
Toxic components
Lack of environmentally sound recycling infrastructure
6. 6
E- Waste & Legislation:
E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011
Effective from 1st
May, 2012.
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986)
Guidelines for Environmentally sound management of E-waste (CPCB)
Draft rules, E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2010 (MoEF)
Baselconvention
Proposed Treatment Procedure:
7. 7
Technology used in E-Waste Recycling:
(PYROMETALLURGY & HYDROMETALLURGY)
Pyrometallurgy:
This involves Smelting of the materials like PCBs, ICs, Directly after dismantling and mechanical
crushing. Recovery of Base metals and Precious metals by using Hydrometallurgical Refining
techniques.
This Technology is being Used Across the world by several refineries for the efficient recovery of
base metals and precious metals.The Processing Capacity is very large.
Hydrometallurgy:
This involves a series of processes where there is separation of metals, non-metals etc.
Various metals will be recovered by using chemical refining techniques.
The Processes are usually done in Batches and the processing capacity is lesser as compared to
pyrometallurgy, but there is better traceability.
8. 8
Pollution and Control Measures in Pyrometallurgical Process:
Presence of BFRs, Plastics, PVC, PCB, Polymers etc during smelting will cause emission of
Dioxins, Furans, CO, CO2, NOx etc.
Ineffective process control might cause the liberation of Dioxins. These pollutants are the most
harmful substances which results in the Ozone Layer Depletion, Global warming and also have
severe health hazards.
Slag is generated during the smelting Process which needs to be Land filled.
The emission control system must capable of treating the above pollutants. The Exhaust emission
needs an efficient monitoring and recording system.
Pollution and Control Measures in Hydrometallurgical Process:
The air pollutants generated are usually NOx, SOx, and Chlorides etc. during the chemical
process. The treatments of these fumes are done using Scrubbers.
Wastewater is generated which is spent chemical solution. This is treated in the wastewater
treatment plant where it is neutralized; the Dissolved Solids are removed and ensure the
discharged water meets the legal requirements.
There is better control on handling the pollutants and the Environmental cost in Hydrometallurgy
is lower than that of Pyrometallurgy.
