Large Household Appliances and IT / Telecom Sectors Account for Majority of E-Waste Generation in India 

E-Waste or Electronic Waste is generated by old, discarded or obsolete electronic products. Electronic waste is highly toxic in nature as it contains hazardous metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc. In India as well as other developing countries, majority of the electronic products are not recycled, which poses a serious environment and health risk. In India, E-Waste management and recycling market faces major challenges due to lack of proper regulatory interface and supporting infrastructure. E-Waste in the country is primarily generated from large household appliances and Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors. In the coming years, as the technology advances, lifespan of products would become shorter, resulting in replacement of existing products with the new ones, which would result in further increasing generation of E-Waste.
