  3. DEFINITION • "Electronic waste" may be defined as discarded computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device  electronics, mobile phones, television sets, and refrigerators etc.”

  4. E – WASTE TYPES

  5. Amount of Electronic waste world-wide An estimated 50 million tons of E-waste are produced each year.[1] The USA discards 30 million computers each year and 100 million phones are disposed of in Europe each year. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 15-20% of e-waste is recycled, the rest of these electronics go directly into landfills and incinerators.

  6. Reasons: Rapid changes in technology, changes in media (tapes, software, MP3) and falling prices, have resulted in a fast-growing surplus of electronic waste around the globe. Eg: Display units: CRT > LCD > LED monitors. RAM : DDR 1 > DDR 2 > DDR 3.

  7. Electronic Waste Dump of the World Guiyu in the Shantou region of China is a huge electronic waste processing area.It is often referred to as the “e-waste capital of the world.

  8. Environmental Impact of Electronic Waste The processes of dismantling and disposing of electronic waste in the third world lead to a number of environmental impacts. Liquid and atmospheric releases end up in bodies of water, groundwater, soil, and air and therefore in land and sea animals – both domesticated and wild, in crops eaten by both animals and human, and in drinking water

  9. Information security E-waste presents a potential security threat to individuals and exporting countries. Hard drives that are not properly erased before the computer is disposed of can be reopened, exposing sensitive information. Credit card numbers, private financial data, account information, and records of online transactions can be accessed by most willing individuals. Organized criminals in Ghana commonly search the drives for information to use in local  scams.

  10. E-waste management Recycling Today the electronic waste recycling business is in all areas of the developed world. Recycling , properly disposing or reusing electronics can helps to prevent health problems, and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
