About the Book
Electronic waste or E- waste describes as the discarded
electrical or electronic devices. The used electronics which are destined for
refurbishment, reuse, recovery, salvage recycling through material recovery, or
disposal are also considered e-waste. Most electronic waste goes through a
recycling system called a WEEE (waste Electronic and Electronic Equipment),
which not only recycles 95-98% by weight, of all e-waste passed through it, but
ensues that any date left on hard drives and memories are thoroughly destroyed
too.
E-waste management is a great challenge for governments
of many developing countries such as India. This is becoming a huge public
health issue and is exponentially increasing by the day. In order to separately
collect, effectively treat, and dispose of e-waste, as well as divert it from
conventional landfills and open burning, it is essential to integrate the
informal sector with the formal sector.
