Renewing E-Waste


In my very first blog i have picked up a social issue or, should i say an "Environmental Issue" as the heading says Renewing E-Waste.Before going any further i offer my apologies to the readers beforehand for any kind of mistakes i may commit during this post which is beacause of my being a juvenile writer whose trying to improve his blogging skills. Without wasting any more time let me cut to the chase and talk about E-waste.
     
                                           The E-Waste management and handling is one of the most important challenges being faced by the residents of this planet, in order to keep the environment safe.The government of india has already realised the importance of the subject and has framed certain rules for E-waste management in this very year which it plans to bring into effect from the next year.But before these rules come into effect there is a big responsibily which lies on the shoulders of both the producers and consumers of E-Waste.In this regard producers need to set expiry for each of their product which further should be designed in such a way that at the time of expiration consumers get monetary incetives on selling the scrap which has left behind.
                                E-Waste management can also act as an employment sector creating tens of thousands of jobs as today, maximum amount of it's disposal is being handled by the informal sector having no professional training or Scientific and technical skills to handle the scrap.This calls for active participation of state governments apart from the union government.Facilities must be created in order to train such a large workforce who are capable enough to scientifically dispose the hundreds and thousands of tonnes of fresh electronics.
