  5. Purpose Statement The purpose of this research to determine the existing e-waste collection and management practices by stakeholders in Northern province. This research will also attempt to measure level awareness on e-waste among key stakeholders 1/13/2020 5

  6. Research Questions What are the current electronic waste collection and management practices in the Northern province and What are the sustainability implications of them? What is the level of awareness of electronic waste and the state of electronic waste management among local collectors? What are the possible actions that could be taken to develop electronic waste management by stakeholders? 1/13/2020 6

  7. Rationale of the Research e-waste has become country level worry and in this context Northern province should be ready to prepare relevant policies, as well as create awareness on e-waste issues Import of used electric and electronic goods impose again a threat on the volume of e waste generated Much attention should be paid to this issue, considering the many health impacts that could be instigated by the e-waste around us(Samantha Bandara,2014) Presently, Sri Lanka does not have a sustainable e-waste management strategy(Samarakoon,2014) 1/13/2020 7

  8. Rationale of the Research(Cont) No proper data about the consumption of electrical and electronic equipment, e-waste generated and managed Lack of awareness among public in general about the responsible use of electric and electronic goods Consumption culture has taken over the traditional culture of repairing the products Lack of proper policy that considers all aspects related to e- waste management and coordination among different stakeholders in different stages of e waste management 1/13/2020 8

  34. e-waste is not only global problem but also a concern area for our province. e-waste problem can only be tackle by knowing it thoroughly, educating users about their ignorance attitude towards electronic garbage, by taking proper steps and by joining provincial hands to reduce its repercussions Presently, Sri Lanka does not have a sustainable e-waste management strategy(Samarakoon,2014) A significant increase in the importation of electrical and electronic appliances to the country has been observed within the past few years(Samarakoon,2015) 1/13/2020 34

  35. More e-Waste is placed in landfills, exposure to environmental toxins is likely to increase, resulting in elevated risks of cancer and developmental and neurological disorders(Bhutta et al,2011) Most of these items were purchased at a high price and hence people are reluctant to dispose of them, even after their lifetime is over. (Lionel Wijesiri,2018) Much attention should be paid to this issue, considering the many health impacts that could be instigated by the e-waste around us(Samantha Bandara,2014) 1/13/2020 35

  36. The current way of producing and consuming products presents severe challenges to sustainability in the form of negative environmental impacts, social injustice, and poverty(Tetiana Shechenko et al,2019). Severity of our e-waste problem will escalate as the demand for electronic consumer goods is continuously rising in our country (Lionel Wijesiri,2018) National policy on e-waste management is still at the draft stage and the legal framework needs much improvement in comparison to the developments that have taken place in other jurisdictions(Sapukotana,2015) 1/13/2020 36

  37. There is an urgent necessity to develop sustainable e waste management plan to solve environmental, social and economical problems which have been immerged due to unmanaged e- wastes(Samarakoon,2014) A significant increase in the importation of electrical and electronic appliances to the country has been observed within the past few years(Samarakoon,2015) 1/13/2020 37
