About the presentation: The presentation will provide an introduction to E-Waste, its problems and then focus on how an electronic waste is managed in India. The major defect lies in improper recycling methods which are being adopted in the country. The absence of safety measures such as wearing masks and gloves has proved to be unhygienic in the recycling environment. The demand for electronic waste treatment is increasing day by day because of the extensive use of electronic devices. Additionally, the developed countries like the USA exports E-Waste to India which has become the major challenge for waste management department. In India, the process of E-Waste management takes a very long period of time because of the lack of formal procedures and latest technology.
