eWaste Awareness: Do Your Part for a Greener Tomorrow

Every second, the world discards enough eWaste to fill an average truck. That’s over 50 million tonnes annually, and less than 20% is formally recycled. Imagine the difference we can make if each of us acts responsibly!

Did you know that globally, we generate over 50 million tonnes of eWaste every year? Less than 20% of it is formally recycled. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for proper eWaste management.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, electronic devices have become an integral part of our lives. However, with the increasing demand for technology comes the challenge of managing electronic waste, or eWaste. Improper disposal of eWaste poses severe environmental and health risks. Let’s work together to address this issue responsibly.

1. Why Proper eWaste Management Matters

eWaste contains harmful substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium. For instance, throwing away a single mobile phone irresponsibly can contaminate enough groundwater to fill 70 swimming pools. Beyond polluting water, these toxins harm wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and pose serious health risks to humans through air and soil contamination. Recycling eWaste properly ensures that these toxic materials are handled safely while valuable materials like gold, silver, and copper are recovered and reused.

By managing eWaste responsibly, we can:

• Keep our air, water, and soil free from harmful toxins.

• Recover valuable resources like gold, copper, and silver, reducing the need for mining.

• Protect the health of our communities by ensuring safe disposal of hazardous materials.

• Contribute to a sustainable economy where waste transforms into resources for new innovations.

2. Do’s and Don’ts of eWaste Management

Do’s:

1. Segregate eWaste: Keep electronic waste separate from household garbage to facilitate proper recycling and prevent contamination.

2. Use Authorized Recyclers: Ensure eWaste is given only to certified eWaste recycling companies.

3. Erase Data: Remove all personal data from devices before disposing of them.

4. Educate Others: Spread awareness about the importance of eWaste recycling in your community.

Don’ts:

1. Avoid Dumping: Never dispose of eWaste in regular garbage bins or open spaces.

2. Do Not Burn: Burning eWaste releases toxic fumes harmful to health and the environment.

3. Refrain from Hoarding: Avoid storing unused electronics for long periods; they’re better recycled.

4. Say No to Informal Channels: Don’t hand over eWaste to unauthorized recyclers or scrap dealers.
