Title
E-waste disposal and management
Abstract
Electronic waste or E-waste is waste electronic and electrical equipment is an emerging issue posing serious pollution problems to the human and the environment. New effective waste management options need to be considered especially on recycling concepts. Now-a-days, the disposal of electronic waste becomes a tedious process as it is a non-degradable material. so by using those electronic wastes in concrete, we can achieve more strength and also it is economic in construction. an investigation to study the performance of concrete prepared with E-waste as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate
The exponential growth in electronic waste (e-waste) comprising end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment has emerged as a major environmental concern. E-waste recycling, which comprises systematic collection of e-waste and its treatment for recycling of useful materials, offers a valuable tool to minimize the escalating heap of e-waste, supplement the shortage of some primary resources and support the economy. However, depending on the processing methods used for recycling, e-waste can also be a source of toxic substances, such as heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants, including poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCB s), abominated flame retardants (Bf Rs), perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), poly chlorinated bedizen-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and poly-chlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). To efficiently harness the benefits of e-waste recycling without jeopardizing public health, a holistic approach encompassing improved product design and recycling rate and minimal emission of hazardous e-waste pollutants to the environment is required. In this review, we discuss the opportunities and constraints, and strategies for improved e-waste management. Further, we highlight the recent global trend in e-waste generation and provide an overview of the e-waste recycling process and the impact of e-waste pollutants on human health. Finally, a few strategies that can be implemented to make e-waste recycling an efficient and safer process have been discussed.
Key Words
Cement, Coarse aggregate, Fine aggregate, E-waste, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength and flexural strength. Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing pollution problems worldwide given the presence If a variety of toxic substances which can contaminate the environment and threaten human health, if disposal protocols are not meticulously managed. This paper presents an overview of toxic substances present in e-waste, their potential environmental and human health impacts together with management strategies currently being used in certain countries. Several tools including life cycle assessment (LCA), material flow analysis (MFA), multi criteria analysis (MCA) and extended producer responsibility (EPR) have been developed to manage e-wastes especially in developed countries. The key to success in terms of e-waste management is to develop Eco-design devices, properly collect e-waste, recover and recycle material by safe methods, dispose of e-waste by suitable techniques, forbid the transfer of used electronic devices to developing countries, and raise awareness of the impact of e-waste. No single tool is adequate but together they can complement each other to solve this issue. A national scheme such as EPR is a good policy in solving the growing e-waste problems.
