Chapter 1 Introduction

The term ‘e-waste’ is generally understood to refer to any old, obsolete, end-of-life appliances using electricity which have been disposed off by their owners. E-waste thus would include discarded old computers, sets, refrigerators, telecommunication equipment, laboratory equipment, and other handheld gadgets – basically any electrical or electronic appliance that has reached its end-of-life. 'e-waste' means waste electrical and electronic equipment whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing, refurbishment and repair process which are intended to be discarded as waste. (Draft e-waste Rules, 2015)

Why important to know about e-waste collection and disposal strategy

 e-waste has been one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. UNEP estimates that upto 90 percent of the world’s electronic waste worth nearly US $ 19 billion, is illegally traded or dumped each year and upto 41 million tonnes of e-waste is generated from goods such as computers and smart phones that is forecasted to reach 50 miilion tonnes by 2017 (UNEP, 2015).  Currently, Europe and North America are the largest producers of e-waste, though Asia’s cities are catching up quickly. Arica and Asia are key destinations for large scale shipment of hazardous wastes for dumping and sometimes for recycling. Ghana and Nigeria are among the largest receipients in west Africa, although high volumes of e-waste are also transported to cote d’lvoire and the republic of Congo. In Asia, China, Hong Kong, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Vietnam appear to bear the brunt of illegal e-waste shipments (UNEP, 2015). 1

 The total annual e-waste generated in India in the year 2007 was 3,82,979 MT, including

imports in India (GTZ, 2007).

 While e-waste contains valuable materials such as aluminium, copper, gold, palladium and silver, it also contains harmful substances like cadmium, lead and mercury. In the absence of suitable techniques and protective measures, recycling e-waste can result in toxic emissions to the air, water and soil and pose a serious health and environmental hazards. Valuable materials which include some rare earth metals are lost due to inefficient recycling

technologies adopted in informal sector.  Safe and scientific collection and channelization of e-waste has various benefits, viz., Economic: Revenue generation from recovered materials such as metals, copper, aluminium, iron, steel, lead, plastic and glass etc. Environmental: Conservation of natural resources by reduction, reuse and recycling lead to reduction in pollution. Social: Employment generation as E-waste can be a secondary source of raw material.

e-WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

i. The best option for dealing with e-waste is to reduce the volume. ii. Designers should ensure that the product is built for re-use, repair and/or upgradeability. Stress should be laid on use of less toxic, easily recoverable and recyclable materials which can be taken back for refurbishment, remanufacturing, disassembly and reuse. iii. Recycling and reuse of material are the next level of potential options to reduce e- waste (Ramachandra and Saira, 2004). Recovery of metals, plastic, glass and other materials reduces the magnitude of e-waste. These options have a potential to conserve the energy and keep the environment free of toxic material that would otherwise have been released. iv. Sustainability of e-waste management systems has to be ensured by improving the effectiveness of collection and recycling systems (e.g., public–private-partnerships in setting up buy-back or drop-off centres) and by designing-in additional funding e.g., advance recycling fees. v. The e-waste trade value chain as depicted in Figure 2 shows the complexity of the e- waste flow within India. Not only does the e-waste has a number of different points of

3

origin, but the different stakeholders involved in the value chain are also interlinked with each other. Accordingly, the e-waste does not follow one set path.

Chapter 3 Survey Methodology

Objectives of study

The survey on inventorization of E-waste sales, generation, collection and disposal in J&K was carried out with following objectives:

(i) To study the status of implementation of E-waste (Management and Handling) rules, 2011 in the State.

(ii) To compile data on the approximate number of Dealers dealing with sales of electrical and electronic equipments (EEE) and Refurbishers dealing with repair of waste electrical and electronic equipments (WEEE).

(iii) To study the status of sales, repair, generation, collection and disposal of E- waste in the State.

(iv) To study the disposal behaviour of Consumers / Bulk Consumers in the State.

Study Area

The study was carried out for the whole State as far as status of waste generation and collection is concerned. However, the behavioural case study at consumer / Bulk Consumer level and study related to collation of data on number of dealers / refurbishers was carried out at Jammu, Udhampur, Kathua, Samba and Bari Brahmna Industrial area and Katra.

Survey Methodology

Market Supply Method, considered to be most suitable assessment method for developing countries as per UNEP manual for assessment of E-waste (2007) has been applied for the assessment of E-waste generation in the State of J&K .

12

Under ‘Market Supply Method’ the estimation of WEEE (E-waste) is made from sales data, together with typical lifespan. Mathematically, the market supply method can be expressed as:

WEEE generation (t) = sales (t - dN) + reuse (t - dS)

Where,

dN - Average lifetime of new items

dS - Average lifetime of second-hand items

The average lifetime of new items has been taken from survey results as carried out by UNEP, 2009. Data on sales, no. of authorized dealers / authorized refurbishers of respective companies was collected from the Producers. The data from all Producers was collected through structured questionnaire specifically prepared for the survey. Quantity of waste in tons is calculated by multiplying the total sales figures by the default weight for each equipment (Table 5). The survey aimed to collect data for various aspects of EEE during its flow through various stages as Manufacturing, Sales, Refurbishment, collection and Disposal mechanism in the State of J&K besides inventorization of dealers and Refurbishers in the State.

E-waste Generation:

Data on E-waste generation was calculated from the sales data of previous years collected from various companies and by applying average lifespan and default weight of EEE items. As such, E-waste generation in the State has been estimated to be app. 7372.2 tons for the year 2014-15 (Table 5).

Table 5: Quantities of E-waste generated from different categories of WEEE.

Appliance Lifetime Weight applied Quantity of (in years) (default wt. In Kg) E-waste (Tons)

Mobile Phone 4 0.080 to 0.100 130

Air conditioner 5-8 20 110 Total 7372.2

Percent contribution of selected WEEE items has been worked out from the data on category wise e-waste generated and presented as below in table 6.

E-waste collection

E-waste collection in the State for Financial year 2014-15 is app. 60 MT of which IT & TE equipments and Consumer Goods contribute 3.02 % and 96.97 % respectively.

2. Consumer 58,054.65 4,837.89 electrical and electronics

Total 59,865.87 4,988.89

Scrutinization of annual reports as submitted by respective collection centres data on E-waste indicates that quantity of e-waste contributed by IT equipments has fallen abruptly as compared to the previous year while Consumer goods have shown a slight rise in their collection. Number of Compressors and A.C. motors entering the waste stream is comparatively high as compared to other products covered under E-waste as reported by M/s Attero Recycling Pvt. Ltd. whereas number of colour entering the waste stream have surpassed the no. of compressors as reported by M/s Auctus E-Recycling Solutions Ltd., authorized collection centres in J&K.

Discussions

There are number of individual as well as multibrand dealers authorized by producers for sale of branded products and app. 119 authorized service centres as per data shared by Producers authorized by the Board.

Consumer durables account for more than 40% of end consumer spending in India. Annual turnover of more than INR500 billion and contributes more than INR150 billion to revenue of Centre and State governments. Demand for flat TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners is on a rise with reduced penetration of products vis-a-vis global

levels, rising disposable income and urbanization of consumers. Market for white goods (AC, refrigerators and washing machines) and consumer electronics (televisions) has been growing at close to 14% p.a., and is expected to accelerate to close to 17% in the coming years. (Anon, 2015).

The State Pollution Control Board has taken strict steps to ensure implementation of EPR in the State for sale of branded products by respective Producers and 27 no. of Producers have been authorized till March, 2016. There are two Common Collection Centres (CCC) authorized by the board for direct transport of e-waste so collected to respective recycling facilities and collection points have been identified by few Producers who are not in agreement with CCC for channelization of e-waste to company’s ware house / collection centre located in other States.

Monthly average collection of E-waste is estimated to be app. 151 kg for IT & TE equipments and 4,837.89 kg for Consumer equipments as per the annual reports submitted by authorised Collection Centres (Table 7) which is very negligible due to lack of awareness among consumers / Bulk consumers being created by Producers and lack of will on the part of individual consumers to hand over waste at company’s collection points in view of less money offered and therefore possible leakage of E-waste from source to informal sector directly.

As per the data compiled by UN think tank, United Nations University (UNU), US and China are the leading countries as far as the total E-waste generation is concerned in 2014. These two nations alone contribute 32% of the total global E-waste generation followed by Japan and Germany, while India is the fifth biggest producer of E-waste in the world. It has been estimated as per a UN report that the volume of global E-waste is likely to rise sharply by 21% in next three years. Most E-waste in the world in 2014 was generated in Asia at 16 MT or 3.7kg per inhabitant. The top three Asian nations with the highest E-waste generation in absolute quantities are

China- 6.0 MT Japan- 2.2 MT & India- 1.7 MT The total E-waste generation worldwide is expected to be app. 41.8 MT for the FY 2014 which is expected to rise to 50 MT IN 2018 (Source: The Times of India). E- waste generation in the State has been calculated to be app. 7372.2 Tons for FY 2014-15.
