E-waste management warrants introspection, reexamination, and course correction
It is time we seriously examine our consumption and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment and make it environmentally conscious Ecologically sensitive management of e-waste threatens to become one of the defining challenges of our times. A combination of factors like growing industrialization, economic prosperity, shorter product lifespans and planned obsolescence by manufacturers have led to increased rates of e-waste generation. The theme of the International E-Waste Day is the role of consumers in improving the rates of re-use, refurbishment, and recycling of electrical and electronic products. These rules are applicable to every producer, consumer or bulk consumer, collection center, dismantler and recycler of e-waste involved in the manufacture, sale, purchase, and processing of electrical and electronic equipment.
