Electronic waste which is
commonly known as e-waste is extremely harmful for human beings as well as to
the environment if it is not disposed off carefully. This issue can no longer
be overlooked now as the rate of production of electronics has been increasing drastically,
thus obsolete and damaged electronics are being retired at the same rate. The time has come now when we must understand the
importance of E-waste Recycling; otherwise sooner the day will come when this
issue will become so severe that things would have gone out of our hands.
Hazardous waste can be found everywhere – from commercial offices to factories to heavy manufacturing plants in the form of chemicals, cleaning fluids, pesticides, batteries, nuclear power, and more. Even if you are not producing hazardous waste, you are indirectly contributing in some or the other way. Here are 8 steps you can take to ensure safe and Eco-friendly disposal of waste: 1. Incineration Incineration is a safe way to dispose toxic waste and destroy hazardous waste. A big advantage of this method is the ability to transform flammable waste into energy sources. Advanced incinerators have greatly reduced the release of toxic gases in the environment. Incineration needs minimal amount of land, brings down the amount of trash to half and the residue produced is odorless. 2. Recycling Certain treated hazardous waste can also be recycled instead of being directly dumped into a landfill. Companies are now also compacting recyclable waste to reach their green goals
