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.

Sir, E-waste constitutes a lot of non renewable waste in our country and it's the need of hour to deal with it.The non renewable e-waste causes a lot of harm in the environment and it has to be recycled in some or the other way.We accumulate more waste than we are able to handle.So we need to stop and ask ourselves before buying an electronic item whether we need it or not.Most e-waste items have toxic materials in them so we must aware people around us the proper way of their disposal. Thanks

Dear Sir, I am from Gujarat. E-waste is one of the common issue in our country. Yet another was plastic , but we found ways to deal with it . Sir why don't we use technology that can be reused ? Most of the e items in India manufactured is non renewable resource . Another way to deal with it will be creating awareness among the citizen. There should be law implemented to check and regulate the flow of E waste., we need to start District wise small units under Give & back policy.
