Explanation:

Today, we can’t think of life without Digitisation but increasing Digital Waste (E-waste) is larger than life and very harmful to environment and ecology, Responsible Recycling (R2) is the only answer.

Time has come to change our decades-old practice of handing over hazardous E-waste to Kabadies and avail services of a Professional Recycler for safe and secured Recycling of E-waste.

Answer:

Electronic waste or e-waste describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage recycling through material recovery, or disposal are also considered e-waste. Informal processing of e-waste in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution. ... E-waste-connected health risks may result from direct contact with these harmful materials from inhalation of toxic fumes, as well as from accumulation of chemicals in soil, water and food.

Electronic waste can be disposed of by burial, burning, or dissolution and recovery of metals. All processes require proper containment to prevent contamination of air, groundwater, or soil with heavy metals such as lead or cadmium, or toxic combustion products.

Proper recycling and disposal of electronics is not only important for the environment but it also has a big impact on data security as well. It's quite easy for anyone to extract personal data from electronic devices. Dragging your important documents to the Recycling Bin won't be enough to keep your data secure. That's because digital information often leaves a trail of breadcrumbs that can be recovered effortlessly using the right hardware.

For occupational health and safety of e-waste recycling workers, both employers and workers should take actions.
