Abstract :
Electronic industries in today’s era increases
exponentially with the increase in the population.
People’s dependency on gadgets increases rapidly
worldwide. Electronic equipment makes the life tasks
easier but also pollutes the environment. The older
electronic equipment replaced with newer versions
termed as electronic waste. E-waste isunintended&
unthinkable, makes prejudicial effects that is harmful
for humans, animal and environment when
contamination ofsoil, air and water resources by them.
Worldwide, approximately 53.6million tons of electronic
waste was produce in 2019, from which only 13% was
recycled and remaining are dumped in land-fills and
incinerators cause health and surrounding problems due
to the existence of perilous materials and chemicals in
them.Found in several studies on e-waste so far, many
developed and developing countries do not
properly manage their waste generation, according to a
study by the United Nations Global Waste Report 2019.,
Needs immediate action for smarter and more
sustainable waste management.
This paper outlines India's e-waste statistics and
focuses primarily on informal sector ewaste management and environmental
damage. Throughout this paper, we will regularly
discuss legal measures and awareness programs. Paper
provides the information to the readers regarding
increment of electronic waste and how to control them
by different methods. At the last, it increases the
knowledge and focussing on the informal sector how to
handle the e-waste pollution and health problems occurs
due to this. It will also helpful for framing future policy
related to e-waste in India to policy makers. The instant
installed E-waste carrying capacity of it is 11x105
tons per
year of electronic waste in the country. It is acutely
deficient and necessitatesimproving as minimal
requirement is approximately to be 22 x 105
tons per year
of waste products.
