Introduction:

their "useful life." Mobile Phones, Smart Phones, Feature phone, I Phones, Laptop, Desktop, Thin
Clients, Air Conditioners, Televisions, Refrigerators, Washing Machines, VCDs, stereos, copiers, and fax
machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled.
E-waste has been one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world.
While e-waste contains valuable materials such as aluminium, copper, gold, palladium and silver, it also
contains harmful substances like cadmium, lead and mercury. In the absence of proper awareness,
disposing e-waste in landfill can result in toxic emissions to the air, water and soil and pose a
serious health and environmental hazards.

needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be
refurbished, reused, and recycled instead of being land filled.

cadmium, beryllium, chromium, and chemical flame retardants, which have the potential to leach into
our soil and water.

management of toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury.

electronics that can be used to make new products. As a result, we save energy, reduce pollution,
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save resources by extracting fewer raw materials from the
earth.

accordance with best environmental practice.
There are strategies we can also follow to help reduce the amount of e-waste.
They include:
- Be a good consumer. Do some research when you’re ready to buy a new product. Make sure
it’s one that won’t break easily or become damaged shortly after you purchase it. In other words,
look for products likely to have a much longer lifespan so you won’t need to replace it within a few
years, or even months. It’s known that this is a common practice in the electronics industry; to
make products with shorter life spans so more money can be earned in the long run when they break or
malfunction.
- Reuse as often as possible. If you have parts and equipment that are still working,
try repairing the electronic device before getting a new one. And if the device is beyond the point
of being repaired, then recycle it.
- Educate yourself on what gets put into your electronics. Knowledge is power. Doing
some research about the raw materials being used to manufacture your mobile phone or laptop helps
you understand how harmful those materials and toxins can be if they’re tossed into a landfill. The
more you educate yourself the more you can purchase items that won’t be harmful to the environment.
- Look for an environmentally friendly label. For example, see if the products you buy
are labeled Energy Star, or have been certified by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment
Tool.
Consider limiting the number of electronics you own. If you don’t really need an extra
gadget, look for devices that have multiple functions.
- Teach kids about e-waste. Children are our future, and it helps if we can instill
within them at a young age a commit to e-waste recycling.
Recycle, recycle, recycle. No matter what you have, it’s important to always dispose of
your e-waste
properly. That means recycling all of your used electronics, with the understanding that improperly
disposing of e-waste is becoming more and more hazardous, particularly since the volume of e-waste has
skyrocketed.
Understand security issues. All of your personal information remains stored on your
electronic devices even if you delete it, so that’s another reason not to throw it away.
We can manage the e-waste and forage for elements that can be reused, recycled or
responsibly disposed off.
We can also boost e-waste recycling by implementing companywide recycling programs, and set
up designated bins for consumers to bring their e-waste to be recycled.
These programs encourage customers to return old or broken products to their source, where
they can then be recycled, refurbished or stripped of usable materials.
