    One theory is that increased regulation of electronic waste and concern over the environmental harm in mature economies creates an economic disincentive to remove residues prior to export. Critics of trade in used electronics maintain that it is still too easy for brokers calling themselves recyclers to export unscreened electronic waste to developing countries, such as China,[11] India and parts of Africa, thus avoiding the expense of removing items like bad cathode ray tubes (the processing of which is expensive and difficult). The developing countries have become toxic dump yards of e-waste. Proponents of international trade point to the success of fair trade programs in other industries, where cooperation has led to creation of sustainable jobs, and can bring affordable technology in countries where repair and reuse rates are higher.

    What is Electronic Waste ?

    Why is it a problem?
    What are the toxic components? Why is eWaste in Landfills Controversial? Why do we need national legislation and what will it do? How do we measure success? Why is this important?

    ELECTRONIC WASTE
    Electronic waste, "e-waste" or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a waste consisting of any broken or unwanted electrical or electronic appliance.

    It is a point of concern considering that many components of such equipment are considered toxic and are not biodegradable.

    The total e-waste in India has been estimated to be

    1,46,180 tones per year

    Over 75 million current mobile users expected to increase to

    200 million by 2012 end.

    become obsolete every year


    from the IT industry in Bangalore alone

    At present, India has about

    16 million computers
    Which are expected to grow to

    75 million computers by 2010

    Discarded electronics contain hazardous materials. If disposed improperly, they pose a potential threat to human health and the environment. May contaminate groundwater

    E-Waste accounts for 40 percent of the lead and 75 percent of the heavy metals found in landfills.

    Increased Consumer Electronic Purchases
