Chapter 9 - E- waste recling in India

E-waste recycling in India

There has been more and more waste being thrown away each year. As more waste is produce and we are not able to make good use of then or recycle them, they become wastage. Examples are computers and many more. Now, it is found that there are a lot of toxics in these computer or their parts. Like lead or mercury is commonly found in these old computers. But if we are to burn them, they cause air pollution as they produce poisonous smog by those burning lead and mercury. If they are buried, they cause land wastage. So recycling is the best option as it protects the environment and also save money. Another way out is to use environment friendly products when building these computers. Like using silicon chips so that they can be recycled.

My point of view

From what I read, I can say that recycling is the best way out as they not only protects the environment. It also teaches other people the importance of the environment and also how we can help to protect it. Recycling these wastes would also create jobs for the people in the country.
