Cash from Trash – Innovative Way of Electronic Waste System

Abstract

Through Cash from Innovative Way of Electronic Waste System Project system. the authorities can collect the waste from the public and reward them accordingly for disposing of their e-waste. This process will attract many people and there are many advantages.  

Through the mobile phone by using an Admin App we can generate a QR code so that whenever a person comes to dispose of the E-waste he can scan that QR code and enter his personal details and the details about the waste. 

E-waste contains both hazardous and non-hazardous substances in their components. Globally, the e-waste generation is estimated at 20 to 50 million tonnes annually. It represents 1 to 3% of the global municipal waste produced as 1636 million tonnes per year. The obsolete and EOL electrical and electronic equipment in large numbers made it a fast growing waste all over the world increasing at the rate of 3 to 5% per annum with respect to the municipal waste. 

The presence of these pollutants in the atmosphere creates various kinds of diseases. To prevent the human being and environment from contamination of these pollutants, it is desirable to study the characteristics of various hazardous materials in e-waste so that people are made aware about ill effects of e-waste treated in uncontrolled conditions. This paper will focus on the e-waste categories, composition of e-waste, hazardous components, various characteristics, ill effects of hazardous substances present in the e-waste, existing disposal methods of e-waste in developing Nations and new innovative disposal methods relevant to solve the existing e-waste treatment problems. E-waste management has become one of the emerging problem to the developed and developing countries both as it is a fast growing waste contains very hazardous and toxic substances in their e-wasted components.
