The manufacturer of the electronic goods must recover the waste. Should be sent for recycling. The government should allow only the products of companies that set up a separate collection center to collect waste from their company's sold electronic goods. All electronic companies should set up waste collection centers like service centers all over India. This is also a way. This will make the collection of electronic waste clearer.

Majority of people don't have idea about how much a small electronic component is hazardous or harmful to nature or human kind. Suggestion 1. Standardization of hazardous level of each electronic equipment 2. Make compulsory to mention on every box how much hazardous component any devices have 3. Integrated incentive programe for teenager for collecting to disposal of ewaste in standard process (certificate from indian government) 4. Introduce ewaste subject in education from standard.

This JV would collect the waste gadgets and segregate the waste into different categories of wastes. Plastic parts shall be sent to plastic recycling channel partner. Metallic parts such as screws, clamps etc shall be sent to metal recycling companies. Wiring harness and cables can be sent to copper recycling companies Gold and silver can be retrieved using appropriate available technology.

Government shall form an entity similar to Common ETPs in industrial areas to collect the waste products from different channels of various OEMs, segregate and route the waste to right recyclers. It is important as every OEM would not be able to invest in waste recycling separately as it would add to their operating costs enormously. This entity can be a joint venture company of different OEMs. This would make JV viable also as it would ensure waste volume from different OEM channels

The advantage with this system would be that different OEMs can get physically similar products such as mobiles, laptops, desktop computers etc as scrap at the end of life cycle. It is important to note that a mobile or laptop of one company have similar components inside when it comes to scrapping and salvaging.

OEM of electronic items can form a separate entity to get the items collected at end of life cycle similar to what is being done in case of batteries. Though, it may not look efficient initially, it can be made effective by following PDCA cycle with continual improvement.

Every OEM has a supply chain for sourcing the components going into manufacturing. Similarly, every OEM shall develop a disposal chain for salvaging the material gone into the manufacturing of the product. A single entity can never have expertise to retrieve different categories of wastes such as plastics, glass, conventional metals such as copper, steel and precision metals such as gold and silver. Segregation of waste and to channelize rightly for increasing yield from waste is important.
