E-waste refers to waste electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing and repair process, which are intended to be discarded. In recent years, there has been an increasing use and dependence on electrical and electronic gadgets like computers, mobile phones, servers, data storage devices, photo copy machines, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. resulting into generation of large quantities of E-waste.
Recycling raw materials Scientifically from end-of-life electronics is the most effective solution to the growing e-waste problem. E- Waste typically consists of Metals, Plastics, Cathode Ray Tubes, Printed Circuit Board, Cables and so on. Valuable Metals such as copper, silver, gold and Platinum could be recovered from E-Waste if scientifically processed and that can be for future uses. By dismantling and providing reuse possibilities, intact natural resources are conserved and air and water pollution caused by hazardous disposal is avoided.
Incineration of E-waste is associated with the risk of generating and dispersing contaminated and toxic substances. The gases released during the burning, and the residue ash is often toxic and harmful for both, health and environment. The presence of heavy metals and highly toxic substances such as mercury, lead, beryllium and cadmium pose a significant threat to the environment even in minute quantities. Hence, recycling reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by incorrect disposal techniques and also the manufacturing of new products.
When we recycle, used materials are converted into new products, reducing the need to consume natural resources. If used materials are not recycled, new products are made by extracting fresh, raw materials from the earth, through mining and forestry. Recycling helps conserve important raw materials and protects natural habitats for the future.
Using recycled materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that required for producing new products from raw materials – even when comparing all associated costs including transport etc.
There are also extra energy savings because more energy is required to extract, refine, transport and process raw materials ready for industry, compared with providing industry-ready materials.
Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials. All of these create substantial air and water pollution.
As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
When we recycle, recyclable materials are reprocessed into new products, and as a result the amount of rubbish sent for incineration reduces.
Electronic Waste or E- Waste means electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the consumer as well as rejected from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair process.
Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.
Emission from e-waste create environmental damage.
Toxic chemicals from e waste enter the soil crop food pathway.
These are non-biodegradable and cause soil pollution.
E waste dumping yards and nearby places are polluted and cause health hazards.

Recycling of old electronic product is beneficial in following ways:
There is need to encourage recycling of all useful and valuable material from e-waste so as to conserve the ever depleting natural resources. Recycling end-of-life products is vital if we are to save resources and minimize waste.
Also scientific disposal of e-waste reduces the environment pollution. The correct disposal ofold product will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
Any disposal through unauthorised agencies/person will attract action under Environment (Protection) Act 1986, which provides for imprisonment upto 5 years or with fine upto Rs. 1 Lac or both.
Followings are negative consequences of disposal of product if not done in scientific way : Toxic material present in e-waste get mixed with earth, air, water etc and causes health issues.
Oil & Gases which is present is some of e-waste like compressor and CRT causes environment pollution.
Batteries contain highly hazardous element.
Burning of rubber & Plastic in open area causes air pollution.
