Abstract |
The nature of the man is to make the nature vulnerable. Today due to liberalization, privatization and globalization, there is huge foreign investment in our country in the sector of electronic and electrical commodities, because India is the big market. The role of science and technology is dynamic. The production of such commodities encourages the people to purchase the novelties having new technology which results the scrapping of old technology. Most of the times, methods which are using for collection, dismantling and recycling are not sophisticated which accelerates the problems of environmental pollution, health impacts, etc. As per preliminary estimates, the annual e-waste generation in India has been estimated to be 0.8 million tons by 2012. Considering it necessary in the public interest to enable the recovery and/or reuse of useful material from e-waste, thereby reducing the hazardous wastes destined for disposal, and to ensure the environmentally sound management of all types of waste electrical and electronic equipment, the Government introduced the E-waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2011. |
