Student Workshop On E- Waste Management And Its Hazardous Impact- Jan 31, 2023

E-waste has become a menace in the past decade in particular with the growing electronic and electrical industry. Year 2019-20 witnessed India being the 3 rd largest producer of e-waste globally only after USA & China. E-waste management is pursuant to SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production cross cutting into SDG 11- Sustainable Cities and Communities. To enlighten our Dipsites of Grade VII -VIII about the grave consequences of generating enormous E-Watste and disposing it irresponsibly, a workshop was conducted by Mr Nipun Kaushik, Director- Operations & Partnerships, Eco Roots Foundation on January 31,2023. The workshop sensitized students about the need to create awareness in the society for responsible disposal of E-waste. He educated students to understand the difference between “What I want and What I need” to curb
unnecessary indulgence in burying electronic gadgets due to peer pressure.
He also motivated students to follow the four R’s (reduce, reuse, repair ,and rethink) , to initiate E-waste collection drive and collaborate with  agencies which can segregate the E-waste scientifically and recycle it to make useful articles such as chairs , tables etc instead of handing it over to local vendors who incorporate rudimentary techniques that can result in release of many toxic substances like liquid crystal, lithium, mercury, nickel, selenium, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic, barium, brominates flame retardants, cadmium, chrome, cobalt, copper, which are very hazardous, for humans, animals and environment.
It was indeed very enriching and thought provoking workshop.
