Thank you Arvind Singh Sir

Hi Neeraj Pandey ,

There are many problems generated from E-waste to environment and human health. Of course we should focus to eliminate these environmental and human health problems while developing the advanced efficient digital EOL management technologies. But we should change our main views about E-Waste, which are as "E-waste is not an problem but another opportunity to transform useful materials in circular economy through the Industry 4.0 technologies"

Thanks Trunal Patil sir

Agree with Trunal Patil

I feel that e-waste is damaging our environment in a very serious way. The waste is not being recycled properly, and as the third world countries strip away the useful materials by burning the electronics, their health is in great danger.

Improper disposal of e-waste affects the soil, air and water components of the environment. When electronic containing heavy metals such as lead, barium, lithium, krypton etc. ... These chemicals lead the death of the plants and animals living in water. Some chemicals are carcinogenic, which can cause cancer.

The ability to obtain and recycle the materials from e-waste helps limit the need for mining them from the Earth. This conserves natural resources worldwide. The United Nations found that precious metal deposits in electronic waste are between 40 to 50 times richer than found in ore mined from the earth.

Thanks Muhammad Ihsan
