Is E-Waste occupying Your Space?



Whether it is a household or an organization technology is replacing old electronic things very fast. Today, people are evolving (buying new electronic gadgets) not only to make a new style statement but also to keep in synchronism with the rapidly changing world. Another reason to upgrade to new electronic things is that they have made a lot of energy-saving leaps over the years. That's why most organizations find it economical to replace them with the new ones not only because they save money (energy), but they are also more work efficient. Organizations (especially relating to IT Industry) have large number of Computer Systems and as the time passes it become hard for these systems to keep in pace with the fast growing business. 

In the case of households the scenario doesn't differ that much. People buy new electronic gadgets or appliances because they are more efficient and have greater aesthetic value, in other words people simply tend to buy things which carry more values. As a result the old ones are soon labelled as out dated. Near about 70% of electronic users hold unwanted electronics in their homes. Why? Because they don’t know what to do with them properly or they do not pay any attention. And, finally these old equipment ends up in filling lands, degrading the quality of soil, water and other natural resources. 

But the good thing is that there is a solution to this problem and that is Recycling. Recycling cost much less than mining the raw materials from earth. It also reduces the risks of toxins getting into the environment. By proper recycling we will not only save our time and money but also this beautiful world.

There are many companies which responsibly recycle e-waste. They are certified and works according to the norms of their state. You can search such organizations near you. Internet is a great way to find them. Give your old electronic stuff to them and they will take care of it. It's also a good way to make money from the things you no longer use.

So if next time you find some obsolete stuff in your place or you are going dump something, even a battery, please consider recycling.

Electronic Waste Recycling - Need of Today's World



With the continuous development in the electronics industry old appliances are being replaced by new modern appliances. These old equipment are being dumped at a very large scale and improper disposal of these wastes has become one of the most challenging problems in today's world; not only because of their quantity, but the fact that they are of high toxicity; creating threat to humanity.

In America every year as a minimum 2.5 million tons of e-waste is generated and its 50 million tons when calculated worldwide every two years. These facts give rise to some questions that where these wastes exactly go? Where these wastes are being dumped? Many times the unused electronic things end up in trash and then finally in filling our Lands, polluting soil, water, lakes and streams and making them unhealthy for drinking, fishing, swimming and supporting wildlife.

But the problem doesn't end here, many poor and developing countries importing tons of electronic wastes as a source of income because these wastes contain precious metals like silver, gold and copper. But their primitive techniques of recycling (like burning) also expose them to toxins, creating health risks for them because these wastes (apart from metals) also contains harmful substances like mercury, lithium, lead, Brominated flame retardants, PVC plastic, cadmium and phosphorous coating. Burning these substances produce dioxins. The possible health risks of these toxins can be tumours, mental health disorders and cancer. These are just some of the results. World Health Organization is trying to identify the potential health risks of toxins present in electronic waste.

Recycling them not only reduces the toxins going into landfill but also decreases the quantity of raw materials we mine from the earth. That's why it becomes necessary to recycle these wastes responsibly to save our environment and thus human and wildlife. As part of the society it's our duty to take an initiative to save humanity from the hazardous effects of electronic waste. This is not only about me or you, but all of us. This responsibility reminds me of the Native American saying;

“We Do Not Inherit the Earth from Our Ancestors; We Borrow It from Our Children.”

World is changing; everything is changing and we also need to change. But what matters is how we are going to change? What difference we are going to make? What we are going to give our children so that they can see a brighter future? For the betterment of Humankind we need to take an initiative today to make a better tomorrow.
