The electronics waste (e-waste) comprises of discarded electrical and electronic equipment, and poses serious challenges globally for improper disposal practices especially in informal sector.

Hon’ble PM has emphasized the need for creating awareness for environmental issues under “Swach Digital Bharat’ during his address at NASSCOM event on 01.03.2015. On the direction of Hon’ble PM, MeitY has initiated the “Awareness Programme on Environmental Hazards of Electronic Waste through Digital India Initiative” over a period of five years to create awareness among the public about the hazards of e-waste recycling by the informal sector and educate them about alternate methods of disposing their e-waste.

Over 95 per cent of e-waste generated is managed by the informal sector. Integration of the informal sector and access to environmentally safe recycling technologies may reduce the health and environmental hazards. In addition to technology, capacity building, skill management, scientific recycling mechanism, business management training are also required for safe recycling of e-waste.

In this context, MeitY is inviting citizen inputs to provide solution for leakage of E-Waste in the informal sector, and suggest proper recycling technology for E-Waste that is economically available.

The last date of submission of suggestions is 4th April, 2018.

For any further information about E-Waste, please visit the GREENE website.

1. Keeping e-waste Bin in each street(road ends) will help to collect all unused electronics. 2. Keep government sector - garbage Collector to collect separately. 3. Keep recycling / ask company people to collect the same.

Sorting of material for must be done for both components by the user I.e mostly companies. Ensuring before selling to vendor. Some materialsare recycled by user for making another products. Some materials can be used for road construction for strong surface making good roadway Some may shifted to high hills for filling up the gaps for safe walkway or transportation purposes.

Don't trash them. First, we should never throw e-waste in the trash! ... Pass them on for reuse. ... Recycle them. ... Find a good e-waste recycler. ... Staples stores. ... Best Buy stores. ... Do a cell phone recycling drive and fundraiser in your school. Learn to fix broken gadgets yourself. Recycling your electronic waste in this way might not be free, but it’s a small price to pay to avoid sending these toxic materials to landfill, polluting the environment for future generations

I understand it's pay off the conditions of sale of every items, in the west, they have to take it back for recycling /reprocessing. The same could be enforced, if it were true. I am not sure how the take -backers dispose their left over waste.

The e-waste is disposed of every corner of the community and it is a great initiative. I would suggest that the waste should be collected from the generation center and it should be separated/segregated and recycled. so the end product can be reused. recycling is the best option. when I visited the USA and witness a vehicle (attached) to collect the waste at the doorstep by a vehicle, on the vehicle the waste we collect helps power over million homes
