Electronic waste, "e-waste" or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a waste consisting of end of life electrical or electronic appliance.
It is a point of concern considering that many components of such equipment are considered toxic and are not biodegradable.
The total e-waste in India has been estimated to be more then 4, 00,000 tonnes per year

We all can make a change. Act now, save the earth

STEPS TO REDUCE E-WASTE
St. Paul's School has collaborated with Toxic Links in order to reduce e-waste and save the environment. We have set up an e-waste reduction bin in which students bring e-waste produced in their homes. An “E-WASTE REDUCTION GROUP” has been formed of which I, Robin Thomas, am the leader. It has the following aims –
· To create awareness among children
· To encourage children to bring e-waste to school and discard it in the e-bin located in our school from where it goes to a proper recycling company.
· To discourage children from selling the e-waste to the trash picker
· To spread the campaign to the residents in the colony.
