The digital revolution has changed the lifestyle of an average human being momentously. We have welcomed gadgets and gizmos in all their grandeur. These devices are designed to make our lives comfortable and simpler, but contradictorily, are creating dire circumstances for our present and future.
The mass manufacture of electronic items and their rapid disposal to stay ‘in vogue’ has led to the need of an ethical removal of e-waste. The consequence of this spending and consuming habit? An endlessly growing heap of “digital rubbish” that is hard to manage and dispose of. This e-waste includes working, non-working and broken electronic items which usually find their way in the regular garbage bin. Not only this, if an electronic item goes unsold in the store, it is often thrown away in the trash can.
Technological advances are coming at such a breakneck speed that even the ones which are working are considered redundant and obsolete. This rapid technological advancement, lifestyle changes and end of intended usage has become one of the biggest challenges encountered on a global level.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that health risks may result from direct contact with toxic materials such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and PCBs that leach from e-waste dumped in our land and water bodies. The risk is exceptionally high due to the inhalation of the toxic fumes, as well as from the accumulation of chemicals in soil, water, and food. This puts not just humans but land and sea animals in danger as well. To protect mankind and the future generations, a befitting recycling process is the need of the hour. The consumers will keep on ‘upgrading’ their devices, hence, it is important to highlight the need of recycling the older, outdated models rather than just tossing them away in the bin.
