In the year 2020–21 alone, India processed a staggering 3.4 lakh metric tons of e-waste. According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the generation of plastic waste is steadily rising, increasing by 3% each year. But here's the alarming truth – e-waste is soaring even higher, with an astonishing 7.1 lakh tonnes generated in 2018-19 and a jaw-dropping 10.14 lakh tonnes in 2019-20. That's a 31% increase every year!

The time to act is NOW. Our beautiful Earth is silently bearing the burden of our carelessness. Namo eWaste is here to say, 'Stop eWaste just not today, but EVERY day!'

Let's make a promise to Mother Earth on this International eWaste Day. It's time to turn the tide and make a difference.

Join Namo eWaste in the mission to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Let's create a sustainable future together.

During this week, the focus was E Waste that is “Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted, non-working or obsolete, and have essentially reached the end of their useful life.” (Electronix Redux, 2011)  During the lecture we watched an extraordinary video about E Waste in Ghana which was called ‘ToxiCity: underreported, life at the world's largest e-waste dump in Ghana.’ This video was very interesting but yet saddened me. Through watching the conditions that some people had to live and work in, I also feel very fortunate for the life I am living but angry for the conditions these people have to live in which compromises of a highly toxic environment which in turn can cause many diseases and infections.
