ELECTRONIC WASTE- A REAL
ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT
qElectronic waste, "e-waste"
or "Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment"
("WEEE") is a waste consisting
of any broken or unwanted
electrical or electronic
 SOURCES OF E-WASTE
• IT & Telecom Equipments

• Large Household
Appliances

• Small Household
Appliances

• Consumer & Lighting

Equipments

• Electrical & Electronic

EFFECTS ON HUMAN
HEALTH
 E-Waste Growth
IT and telecom are two fastest growing industries
in the country.

At present, India has 15 million computers. The

target being 75 million computers by 2010.
Life of a computer reduced from 7 years to 3-5
years.
WASTE PILING UP
Mumbai at present tops the list
Mumbai : 11, 017 tonnes
Delhi : 9,730 tonnes
Bangalore: 4,648 tonnes
Chennai : 4,132 tonnes
Kolkata : 4,025 tonnes
Ahmedabad : 3,287 tonnes
Hyderabad : 2,833 tonnes
Pune : 2,584 tonnes
the total e-waste in India has been estimated to be
1,46,180 tonnes per year

 Energy recovery
• Energy content of waste
products can be harnessed
directly by:
2. Pyrolysis- are used to convert
organic materials directly into a
synthetic gas (syngas)

5. Gasification- converts the solid

waste material into solid, liquid

TECHNOLOGY (IET)
Ø Transforms waste into
highly stable glass-like
residues, recoverable
metals and hydrogen-
enriched gas.
Ø IT combines three
processes:
3. plasma arc using
multiple graphite
electrodes
4. Superheated steam
5. joule (resistance)
heating using glass
melter technology.
E-Waste: Start Thinking About Th

•The amount of e-waste is likely to

increase because e-waste is growing at
three times the rate of other public
waste.
•It may be responsible for 70 percent of
the heavy metals in landfills, including
40 percent of all lead.
•look at e-waste not as waste, but as
resource.
•recycling of cathode ray tube (CRT)
monitors will decrease because of the
 CONCLUSION

E-WASTE shouldn’t be seen as a

waste but seen as resource.
Students can use unusable
equipments from e-waste for their
research & project studies.
• The fact is that only a very small
amount of discarded computers are
being recycled. The truth is that
this needs to change!
Hey Man, simply because you're outdated
doesn't mean
.
you're unwanted. I'd never discard you
THANKING YOU
ALL !!!
