E-WASTE INDIAN SCENARIO
E-WASTE MANAGEMENT
RecyclingProcessing techniquesBenefits of recycling
RECYCLING
Key components of modern waste reductionThird component of the “reduce,reuse,recycle” waste hierarchyISO standards relating to recycling; ISO 15270:2008 - Plastic waste ISO 14001:2004 - environmental management control of recycling practiceRecycling consumer waste• Collection • Drop-off centers• Buy-back centers• Curbside collection• Sorting
BENEFITS OF RECYCLING
Effective solution to the growing e-waste problem Reduces the amount of green gas emission Pollution caused by hazardous disposal is avoided
PROCESSING TECHNIQUE
