1 Electronic Waste Management (under Rules of E-waste May 2011 by MoEF) BOWML ewaste Management 1

2 E-Waste & Hazardous Waste Issues Electronic & Electrical Goods not fit for intended use or discarded for any reasons. Example: Microwave Oven, Radio, TV, Refrigerator, PC, Mobile Phone, Stereo, Laptop, Modem, Cordless Phones etc. E-Waste contains toxic/hazardous elements and require disposal through an licensed and approved environmentally sound technology establishment. Environment Protection Act provides for separate regulations for e-waste with title of E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, BOWML ewaste Management 2

3 Components using Toxic Elements Element or Compound Lead & Cadmium Lead Oxide & Cadmium Mercury Cadmium PCB Brominated Flame Retardant PVC Component Printed Circuit Boards CRT Thermometer, Flat Screen Batteries Capacitors PCB & Plastic Casing Cable Cable BOWML ewaste Management 3
