Description: India stands as the 3rd largest e-waste generator in the world producing a total of 3.2 million tonnes of e-waste in 2019. Small, end-of-life electrical and electronic appliances present a significant challenge. UN estimated that in 2019, over 22 million tonnes of small e-waste were produced worldwide. This is 40% of the 57 million tonnes of all e-waste arising globally. If the quantity of these small items keeps on increasing at the same rate as total e-waste (around 3% per annum), it will reach 29 million tonnes by 2030. Due to their small size, items such as cell phones, electric toothbrushes, toasters and cameras are often discarded incorrectly, and they make up a significant proportion of the 8% of all e-waste that is thrown in waste bins which is subsequently landfilled or incinerated. This means the important raw materials they contain cannot be extracted and are lost.
In this context, it is crucial that people become more aware and that the loss of the important resources these items contain is stopped. The focus of International E-Waste Day 2022 will be, therefore, on small items of e-waste, under the slogan ‘Recycle it all, no matter how small!’.
Karo Sambhav is an organisation that collaborates with enterprises, consumers, governments and alliances to enable circular economy. It is developing socially responsible and financially viable circular solutions by collaborating with disintegrated players across waste value chains. It designs and implements transformative Extended Producer Responsibility programmes for electronics waste and plastic waste. In the space of e-waste, it is one of the first in India to be approved by Central Pollution Control Board. Karo Sambhav is the only organisation from Asia to become a member of WEEE Forum Belgium. This year, on the occasion of International E-waste Day, Karo Sambhav will launch its Pan India Awareness Campaigns across platforms including digital, radio and Out of Home (OOH), with an aim to inspire consumers to recycle their e-waste through formal collection channels.

As they are the backbone of the recycling industry and using e-waste collection and dismantling for their daily sustenance.
The informal sector refers to individuals or community enterprises who are involved in the recovery of material and waste management activities that are not necessarily sponsored, financed, recognized, supported, organized, or acknowledged by the formal E-waste authorities.
By which we can prevent the precious metals and materials from ending up in landfill and also we’ll defend the people who are working in the informal E-waste sector from the health impacts of those hazardous materials.

Description: India employs ±2 million informal waste pickers in its informal e-waste sector. They are highly skilled, professional dismantlers, able to extract any value they might find. This often comes at the cost of their own health, and the environment. Since the safe disposal of hazardous waste is not guaranteed, and plastics are often discarded to landfill, we see opportunities for improvements to the circular economy.
Minimise have partnered with Landbell GreenForest Solutions India and Ecowork to research the impact of these activities. In total 18 tons of e-waste will be collected. 9 tons from which valuable components were already harvested by the informal sector, and 9 tons of unharvested e-waste.
By dismantling and weighing each fraction, we can compare difference in material found in each share. The expectation is we find a higher share of plastics, toxins and hazardous components. Based on our findings, the teams will issue a series of recommendations in the form of a white paper, to be released on the 14th of October.
Follow our social media channels to stay up to date on our findings.

Description: I have pursued my PhD in Electronic waste management and is a Gold medalist from the University of Delhi. In addition to this, I have presented my research work at national and international forums and have a number of published articles in books, journals and magazines to my credit. I also worked with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Govt. of India as a Programme Fellow in Smart Cities Mission.
I had applied for EWAS Scientists – 2022 edition Program (https://www.scycle.info/applications-are-now-open-for-the-ewas-2022/) two months back which is a prestigious and one of its kind of exclusive program for E-waste Scientists and Scholars.
I am happy to share that based on the quality and importance of my research work, I was been selected to attend the above Program on the theme Managing valuable and hazardous materials in e-waste: the route to circularity’ organised by United Nations Institute for Training and Research. The training was held from 27th August – 3rd September 2022. The aim of the EWAS was to expose participants to diverse normative and positive perspectives about e-waste management and provide multiple teaching and learning methodologies. It also provided them with an opportunity to exchange knowledge and implement the same in their respective countries.
The topic is so close to my heart that I am doing all such efforts on my own to disseminate knowledge.

The secondary resource market (resources recovered from e-waste) is projected to grow from USD 9.4 billion in 2020 to USD 11.8 billion by 2025. Real demand for precious metals, such as copper, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, rises from their use in industrial applications. The growing need for metals demands the recycling and recovery of precious metals from e-waste.
Thus, there is a need to develop “secondary resource markets” that will not only boost recycling but will emerge as a dependable place for ‘recyclers’ to sell the recovered metals & materials (recovered resources) in the open market.
Sanshodhan will organize a webinar, and share the details on the topic, on the E-Waste Day, 14 Oct 2021.
