E- Waste Generation SourcesThe average life span of a personal computer has gone down from 4 5 years to 2 years! IT industry with 1,00,000 professionals. Every year about 30% of its computers are rendered obsolete. BPO, ITES with 60,000 professionals also contribute significantly as also the banking sector. Households contribute significantly to batteries, fluorescent lamps etc.

Components of E- wasteCircuit boards contain heavy metals like lead and cadmium Computer batteries contain cadmium Cathod ray tubes with lead oxide Brominated flame retardants used on printed circuit boards, cables and plastic casing Copper cables and plastic computer casings contain PVC Refrigerators contain CFCs

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WASTE GENERATED?Through an extensive network this waste winds its way through a series of agents. Components are retrieved and reused. Other parts recycled. What remains is finally disposed indiscriminately in drains, open sites or the community binsNovember, 06 WeP Peripherals Ltd - MAIT

Scrap dealers use unhealthy practices to extract valuable material, and dispose the rest.

E- waste disposal hazardsWhen discarded irresponsibly the toxins pose a health hazard. When burnt openly or in incinerators the toxins pollute the air. Toxins cause damage to lungs, kidneys, central and peripheral nervous systems, blood circulation, birth defects and increase the risk to cancer. Contaminates ground water through landfill leachate. Leads to chronic toxic effects in plants and animals. Children lose mental ability even at lower levels of exposure.November, 06 WeP Peripherals Ltd - MAIT

E-waste managementEuropean and other Western countries have a two pronged approached to e-waste disposal- Reduce volume by crushing it - Incinerate

India fares much better in terms of recycling and reuse of electrical and electronic items!

WeP E- waste management initiativesWeP Green business - deals in buying back used printer toners and printheads and remanufactures them. Top management decision on not selling any E-waste to the scrap dealers. Setting up processes to store segregated E-waste and hand over to KSPCB authorised recycler: E-Parisara. E-waste management would be an integrated module in ISO 14001 training and awareness throughout the country.]]

Consider E-waste management in our activities and products.
