E-waste, Eco-Friendly Practices, Complexities, Health effects, Zero Waste Strategies, India.

The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally altered our lives, pushing us towards a greater dependence on electronics. This surge in electronic use, however, has cast a long shadow in the form of electronic waste, or e-waste. India, already struggling with a significant e-waste burden, now faces an even steeper challenge. This research paper sheds light on India's current e-waste scenario, outlining the gravity of the issue. The vast amount of e-waste generated in India comprises a mix of valuable materials and toxic substances. Improper disposal of this waste can wreak havoc on human health and the environment. Studies indicate a sharp rise in e-waste generation, with figures expected to increase by 271% by the year 2028-2029, compared to 1.8 million tonnes in 2024. This alarming growth is further compounded by the lack of proper infrastructure for e-waste disposal and recycling. The influx of e-waste often ends up in landfills and unregulated recycling canters, creating a new set of problems for policymakers and environmentalists. The very gadgets meant to simplify our lives can turn into a health nightmare if not disposed of responsibly. Many users remain unaware of the potential dangers associated with the rapid rise in computer, monitor, and television use. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of India's e-waste situation and better sustainable strategies. It delves into the magnitude of the problem, the environmental and health hazards posed by e-waste, and the current state of disposal and recycling global practices. By critically examining these aspects, the proposes mechanisms to improve e-waste management in India, paving the way for a more sustainable environment and our better future.
