E-Waste Management: Project Opportunities in Haryana
PROFILE:
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life. E-wastes are considered dangerous, as certain components of some electronic products contain materials that are hazardous, depending on their condition and density. The hazardous content of these materials pose a threat to human health and environment. Discarded computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, fax machines, electric lamps, cell phones, audio equipment and batteries if improperly disposed can leach lead and other substances into soil and groundwater. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled in an environmentally sound manner so that they are less harmful to the ecosystem. This paper highlights the hazards of e-wastes, the need for its appropriate management and options that can be implemented.
RESOURCES:
Gurgaon known for being the home to over two hundred Fortune 500 companies and a hub of BPOs, Gurgaon is also the biggest producer of e-waste. A recent study revealed that Gurgaon generates about 8,000 metric tonnes (MT) of e-waste every year, the highest in the country. The groundwater in Gurgaon is contaminated with lead and heavy metals because of the unregulated disposal of e-waste and other solid and liquid waste, says the study.
Haryana, in fact, is still to implement its e-waste policy even after the Central Pollution Control Board notified it long back. The e-waste was growing at the pace of 20 per cent annually in India. It was going up in Delhi region, that includes Gurgaon, at the phenomenal rate of more than 40 per cent, it said. It is estimated that the Delhi region would produce about six lakh metric tons of e-waste annually and would continue to be the highest e-waste producer with Gurgaon contributing to it in a major way.
With the increasing use of computers in households, purchase of mobile phones and television sets, e-waste in Delhi region, including Gurgaon, is going to go up phenomenally, the study says. The study has revealed that IT companies in Gurgaon dispose off about 40,000 computers every year while the country’s figure is 20 lakh computers annually.
Haryana is still to introduce e-waste policy in the state. Unregulated disposal of e-waste has resulted in groundwater contamination in Gurgaon. Haryana government on e-waste disposal, the BPOs and other IT companies are taking initiatives on their own.
GOVERNMENT POLICIES:
A comprehensive law that provides e-waste regulation and management and proper disposal of hazardous wastes is required. Such a law should empower the agency to control, supervise and regulate the relevant activities of government departments. Under this law, the agency concerned should collect basic information on the materials from manufacturers, processors and importers and to maintain an inventory of these materials. The information should include toxicity and potential harmful effects.
• Identify potentially harmful substances and require the industry to test them for adverse health and environmental effects.
• Control risks from manufacture, processing, distribution, use and disposal of electronic wastes.
• Encourage beneficial reuse of e-waste and encouraging business activities that use waste. Set up programs so as to promote recycling among citizens and businesses.
• Educate e-waste generators on reuse/recycling options
