E-Waste Management and Handling Rules
E-waste is considered hazardous when approaching the end of their useful existence because certain electronic product components, depending on their condition and density, contain hazardous substances.
The toxicity of these substances poses a threat to human health and the environment. 
Computers, refrigerators, laundry machines, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, fax machines, electric lighting, cell phones, audio equipment, and other electronic items and batteries can discharge lead and other substances into soil and groundwater if discarded inappropriately. 
Numerous of these products can be repurposed, refurbished, or recycled in an eco-friendly manner to reduce their impact on the environment.

Benefit of E-Waste Recycling

Electronics Recycling Conserves Natural Resources

There are many materials that can be recovered from old electronics.  These  materials  can be used to make new products,  thus reducing the  need  to  mine  for  new  raw  materials.  For instance, various metals can be recovered from computer circuit boards and other electronics, and the plastics and glass found in computer monitors and televisions can be recycled.

Electronics Recycling Supports the Community

Donating your  old  electronics  plays  an  important  role  in  the  provision  of  refurbished  products such as computers and mobile  phones,  which  can  be  of  great  help  to  low-income  families,  schools, and not-for-profit  organizations.  It also helps individuals gain access to technology that they could not have otherwise forded.

Electronics Recycling Creates Employment Locally

Considering that around90 percent of electronic equipments recyclable, electronics recycling can play a significant role in creating employment.  This  is  because   new  firms  dealing  with  electronics recycling will form and existing firms will look to  employ  more  people  to  recover recyclable  materials.  This  can  be  triggered  by  the  increase  in  the  demand  for  electronics recycling.

Electronics Recycling Helps Protect Public Health and the Environment

Many electronics have toxic or hazardous materials  such  as  mercury  and  lead,  which  can  be harmful to the environment if  disposed  of  in  trashcans.  Reusing  and  recycling  electronics  safely helps  in  keeping  the  hazardous  materials  from  harming  humans   or   the   environment.   For example, televisions and computer monitors are hazardous since they have lead in them.  Printed circuit boards contain harmful materials such as cadmium, lead, mercury and chromium. Also, batteries in computers and other electronics may contain hazardous materials such as cadmium, mercury and lead. Instead of keeping old electronics in the house or dumping them in landfills, recycling or reusing them is an appropriate option that should be supported by individuals and organizations.  Considering the benefits of electronics recycling,   it   is   very important that people in various parts around the world embrace this concept.

Why do we need to recycle electronic devices?

1. Conservation of Resources:
   Manufacturing requires raw material, which in turn comes from mining of precious natural resources. When we recycle an end-of-life product in an authorized and organized environment, we not only reproduce resources from extraction from dead devices, we also contribute towards reducing the mining of fresh natural resources. This leads to conservation of natural resources.
2. Saves Energy:
   Recycling reduces the overall manufacturing cycle of the product since the enormous amount of energy spent on mining of fresh resources, their transportation and refining is prevented. Rather we get resources that have already gone through the refining cycle and are ready for consumption in the production cycle again.
3. Lesser Landfilling & Prevention of Pollution:
   End-of-life electronic devices if dumped into landfills can cause havoc with the ecosystem and severely harm the environment leading to air, water and soil pollution. Safely recycled E-waste on the other hand prevents such pollution.
