The Kerala State Pollution Control Board (PCB) and the State IT Department is seriously considering a proposal to set up an e-waste management facility in the state.
As part of the first phase of the project, workshops on e-waste management would be held in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, and Kozhikode in January. The authorities are considering a public-private partnership model. Location of the project is yet to be decided.
Even though Kerala has made rapid strides in the use of information Technology and Communications, it has virtually no arrangements within it for disposal of e-wastes. There are only 16 Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)-registered dismantlers or recyclers for the safe disposal of electronic wastes in India. Of these five are in Karnataka, three each Tamilnadu and Maharastra and one each in Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarkand.
handling e-waste is a very sensitive thing. still we dont have any idea on how to dispose the e-waste which is growing every day. developed countries having their own ways to dispose these nature unfirendly e-wastes. they are selling it in to th e poor countries, or they are just donating it to the schools or NGOs in other countries. thats how they are disposing them.
But what about countries like us, we are just collecting all those junks, and after one or two years we have to find some place to dispose them. now we are not considering it as a big problem, but as time passess by it would be a big concern. and it is harmful to our enviornment too..
We EARTH SENSE RECYCLE PVT LIMITED an authorized agency by CPCB and KSPCB for handling E-waste in kerala.We are operating in kerala for the past 21months and are catering services to many companies in pubic and private sector.
