Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Rapid economic growth united with growing intake of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and urbanization leads to creation of huge e-waste which is a source of hazardous wastes. E-waste or electronic waste is one of the fastest budding parts of the global waste stream. For evolving economies, these material flows satisfy the demand for cheap second-hand electronic and electrical apparatus. In total, there is a shortage of sturdy national guideline regarding recovering and trading materials waste electronic devices. For many urban and rural poor, recycling is also a source of living, but often causes severe health risks and for the local environment. Overall, there has been little research relatively to date on e-waste in evolving nations. Furthermore, past studies focused on producers, legislators, or recyclers but present study shift consideration to the role of community/consumers, which regulate when apparatus becomes e-waste and its clearance method. In sum, management of e-waste signifies a much better sustainability trial and need for community participation towards maintainable environmental management goals. Therefore, recent investigation sought to report this information gap with economic and social aspects of e-waste amongst community in developing country like India and their readiness to contribute towards maintainable e-waste management system. Study will use hypothetical background Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to describe the voter attitude towards e-waste management. This study also projected a communal based e-waste management system for suitable channelization of the electronic waste.
