Abstract
Disposal of e-waste is an emerging global environmental and public health issue. Managing solid waste was already a challenging task for India, now it has become even more complicated with the invasion of e-waste. E-waste consists of all waste from electronic and electrical appliances which have reached their end- of- life period or are no longer fit for their original intended use and are destined for recovery, recycling or disposal. This article discusses about the associated issues and impact of this emerging problem. It also throws light on the initiatives taken in India to tackle this situation.
