The increasing "market penetration" in developing countries, "replacement market" in developed countries and "high obsolescence rate" of electrical and electronic goods make electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) one of the fastest growing waste streams. E-waste is valuable source for secondary raw material but harmful if treated and discarded improperly as it contains many toxic components such as lead, cadmium, mercury, polychlorinated biphenlys etc. Electronic waste or e-waste refers to unwanted, obsolete or unusable electronic and electrical products. Ever increasing usage of electronics and electrical equipments has resulted in piling up of e-waste. The current practices of e-waste management in India encounters many challenges like the difficulty in inventorization, ineffective regulations, pathetic and unsafe conditions of informal recycling, poor awareness of consumers and reluctance on part of the stakeholders to address the issues. In this paper case study of E-Waste management in India and using some efficient methods for E-Waste Management Like "RRR".& E-waste contains a good amount of valuable recyclable materials also and has potential to become lucrative business in the country.
Electronic waste or e-waste is one of the rapidly growing problems of the world. E-waste is a popular and informal name for electronic products which have completed their useful life. Discarded computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, fax machines, electric lamps, cell phones, audio equipments, batteries etc are some examples of e-waste. This waste also includes non biodegradable plastics which possess serious threat to the environment. Basel Action Network estimates that the 500 million computers in the world contains about 2.87 billions kgs of plastics, 717.67 kgs of lead and 286700 kgs of mercury. A single 14 inch monitor contains about 2.5-4.0 kgs of lead. This may have a drastic effect on the environment, if left untreated. In India, e-waste management assumes greater significance not only due to the generation of its own waste but also due to the dumping of e-wastes by the developed countries. Many of these products can be recycled, reused in an eco-friendly manner. A comprehensive methodology that provides e-wastes regulation, management and proper disposal as well as recycling techniques is the need of the hour. This paper highlights the hazards of e-waste, their effects and the various recycling methods to get rid of them in context of Indian scenario. The proper handling methods of harmful, toxic materials produced from e-waste are also focused in the paper.

E-waste Management and Its Current Practices in India2014 •
Electronic Waste or E-waste, resulting from obsolete electrical and electronic devices is posing to be a rapidly expanding issue in today's world. Yet it has limited awareness among the masses. Prevailing to be a consistent problem in the developed countries, the e-waste management scenario in the developing countries is even worse due to improper disposal of e-waste or otherwise unsafe and primitive technologies involved in its recycling. This paper delves into the issue of proliferating e-waste accumulation, with emphasis on the NorthEastern part of India and suggests a few effective ways for abatement of this impending hazard. During the course of our study it has come to the fore, that unless the problem of e-waste management is immediately addressed, it will continue to emanate and prove to be detrimental to human health as well as the environment.
India is a developing country and is having world's second largest population after china. The present growth rate of 4.7 percent of GDP and achieved growth of 8 percent during eleventh five year plan from 2007 to 2012. As per this growth rate needs and lifestyle of Indian people changes continuously. Due to a huge revolution in technology there is advancement in every sector. The electronic and communication market is also booming in India. Electronic waste or E-waste is relatively a novel addition to the ever-growing hazardous waste stream. The manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is one of the emerging global activities. The main factors identified to be responsible for the increased consumption and productions of electrical and electronic equipment are rapid economic growth, coupled with urbanization and industrialization. Developing countries are facing enormous challenges related to the generation and management of E-waste which are either internally generated or imported illegally; The Indian Information Technology (IT) sector is one of the major contributors to the global economy. At the same time, it is responsible for the generation of the bulk of E-waste or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in India. Although the global E-waste problem has been able to attract attention across the world, not much emphasis has been given to the E-waste engendered in developing countries. Developing countries like India, today, is burdened with the colossal problem of E-waste which is either locally generated or internationally imported, causing serious menace to human health and environment. The hazardous components in electrical and electronic equipment are a major concern during the waste management phase. In the context of India, recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment is not undertaken to an adequate degree. However, the existing management practices related to E-waste in India are reasonably poor and have the potential to risk both human health and the environment. Moreover, the policy level initiatives are not being implemented in an appropriate way. The austere problem of E-waste along with its policy level implications is looked upon in the paper. During the course of the study it has been found that there is an urgent need to address the issues related to E-waste in India in order to avoid its detrimental future consequences on environment as well as health of human population. The purpose of the review was to improve understanding of electronic waste (e-waste) and the effect on health and the environment on a global scale. The review involved examining data and policies of governmental,

E-Waste Management in India2020 •
E-waste or Electronic wastes are referred to the electronic goods that are discarded or unwanted. Each year, around more than 50 million ton of e-wastes are created Depending upon their nature of response, there are possibilities for dangers depending upon the condition. Discarded computers, batteries and other electro chemical wastes may outcome in unwanted results. So it is essential to be awake of e wastes in addition to the other physical wastes. The condition is alarming as India creates about 1.5 lakh tones of e-waste annually and almost all of it finds its way into the informal sector as there is no organized alternative accessible at present. This paper discusses the present scenario of e-waste management, sources of e-waste management, future e-waste estimates and possible e-waste handling strategies in India.
