E-WASTE RECYCLING
The recycling of e-waste is both ecologically desirable and necessary. It promotes reuse of recoverable materials, thereby reducing their rate of extraction. However, resource recovery from e-waste involves convoluted chemical processes with potentially hazardous by-products, so the regulation of e-waste recycling activities is imperative.
E-waste represents electronic waste. Generally, the electronics items which we can reuse, recycle, resale or dispose of are the potential e-waste items. These days, e-waste includes a wide rundown of materials. For example, computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics, mobile phones, television sets, forced air systems, and refrigerators.These days, e-waste is a consuming issue both in developing and developed countries. The load of e-waste is becoming very quick. Therefore, this creates a requirement for effective recycling.
As per a recent report by Assocham-Ckinetics, India is the fifth largest e-waste producer and its electronics-waste generation is expected to yearly develop at 30% to contact 5.2 million metric tons (MT) per annum by 2020 as against the present level of 1.8 million metric tons. Hence you can see huge opportunities in e-waste recycling business.
