Introduction Of E-waste Management
• In India, the amount of "e-waste" or electronic waste has now become a 
significant problem. 
• Removal of e-waste is an emerging worldwide environmental and general 
health issue, as this waste has become the most quickly developing segment 
of the formal city waste stream in the world. 
• E-waste or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are loosely 
discarded, excess, obsolete, broken, electrical or electronic devices.
• In India, a large portion of the waste electronic items is stored at households 
as people don't have the foggiest idea of how to dispose of them.
•  In India. Around 25,000 workers incorporating children are involved in crude 
disassembling units in Delhi alone where 10,000–20,000 tons of e-waste is 
handled every year by bare hands.
Burden of E-Waste
In India, strong waste management, 
with the emergence of e-waste, has 
become a complicated undertaking. 
The all-out waste generated by 
obsolete or broken down electronic 
and electrical equipment was 
estimated to be 1,46,000 tons for the 
year 2005, which is expected to 
exceed 8,00,000 tons by 2012. (2) 
However, as per the Greenpeace 
Report, in 2007, India generated 
380,000 tons of e-waste. Just 3% of 
this made it to the authorized 
recyclers' facilities.
Health Effects 
Electronic equipment contains 
numerous perilous metallic 
contaminants, for example, lead, Class Group 1 Group 2
cadmium, and beryllium and 
brominates flame-retardants. The Class 1 82 95
portion including iron, copper, 
aluminum, gold, and other metals in Class 2 76 88
e-waste is over 60%, while plastics 
represent about 30% and the risky Class 3 84 90
poisons comprise just about 2.70%. Of 
numerous harmful heavy metals, lead 
is the most widely used in electronic 
devices for different purposes, 
resulting in a variety of health 
dangers due to environmental 
contamination. 
E-Waste Management Initiative
In the Environmental (Protection) Act 
1986, the "polluter pays principle" is Act 1986
enacted to make the gathering 
responsible for delivering contamination 
responsible for paying for the damage 
done to the regular environment. In 
international environmental law, it is Rio Declaration
mentioned in principle 16 of the Rio 
Declaration on Environment and 
Development.
