International v/s National e-waste scenario:

As per studies Internationally 4000 tons per hour e-waste is generated in the world from different cities like Switzerland, Germany, united kingdom, USA, Taiwan, Thailand, Denmark and Canada. And this cities are known for big wonders in terms technology and getting into new innovation. That made peoples life more easy as well as difficult due to excess of electric equipment’s. Which resulted into e-waste products . which neither and can be used or destroyed. And still they are trying to attract people with new products. That can save time and money where the people gets pulled up. And finding new ways in short-cut method for people. And generation tons to e-waste around us.

In India e-waste is the fastest growing pollution problems which is increasing almost 3 times than that of municipal waste globally. Earlier the result showed that in 2012 global e-waste would reach 53 million tons from 42 million tons in 2008 thus growing CAGR( compound annual growth rate) of 6% . But e-waste is continuously growing from 2010 to 2017 compare to e-plastic waste contribution.

India is become a dumping ground in todays terms. As we see every where we can find dumps in our areas. And this is hazardous to health if not treated or recycled, reused in a proper manner.

Through this we should try to reduce our electric equipment’s from our day to day life . we all are becoming day by day busy and lazy in doing things . and finding the easy way by using electric items. Which is in one way is good but, it also lead to various problems. New technology leads to occupying new items in our houses and creating dumps in our areas which is not disposable. Thus we should try to use minimal use of electric items. And should try to Recycle, Reduce and Reuse of e-waste items which will be a step in creating your art and saving our environment.
