Content: The outbreak of any and every type of pollution today has a story behind its origin. So before we get into further details and information regarding electronic pollution, let us first figure out how the entire scenario of electronic pollution starts and how it came into existence. What is e-waste? The term “waste” logically refers to residue or material which is dumped by the buyer rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations, because loads of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non-recyclable). Electronic waste also called e-waste is created when an electronic product is discarded after the end of its useful life. It is hoarding as well as disposing of unused or irreparable, electronic items like mobile phones, television sets, computer sets, refrigerator, tape recorders etc. It includes a long unending list of electrical equipment. These may be classified into 3 parts. Recycled, Non-recycled and Risky. Discarded computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics , mobile phones , television sets, and refrigerators include used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal as well as re-usable (working and repairable electronics) and secondary scraps (copper, steel, plastic, etc.).
