OBJECTIVES

o Adherence to the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules,

2011, as laid down by Ministry of Environment and Forests,

for bulk consumers

o Space Management :

End-of-Life and outdated IT products take up huge spaces

making it difficult to use these locations effectively.

Freeing up of these blocked spaces creates spaces which can

be used for storing existing IT assets more effectively

thus saving extra cost of procuring additional spaces for

these assets.

o Generating Income and Cost-cutting :

Disposing of e-waste makes all the more sense since

handsome income can be generated from these which in turn

can be used to fund future IT procurements thus saving on

the annual IT budget and contributing in cost-cutting.

o Acquiring Green Certificate :

Proper handling and disposal of e-waste through recyclers

ensures a recycling certificate, also called a Green

Certificate, which ensures that the organization is

environment-friendly, thus earning favorable points from

Govt-of-India and all educational accreditation bodies like

UGC, AICTE, NBA and NAAC.

Demarcation of permanent space for e-Waste Recycling at NIT

Moving beyond the conventional method of dumping and thus adding

to existing scraps, Narula Institute of Technology now maintains

a more scientific and comprehensive process of accumulating

scraps, identifying e-waste from these and storing them in an

ordered fashion. Room 415 has been dedicated for this purpose.

Given below is the picture of the Room 415, along with the

Metamorf banner.

SUMMARY

Advancement of technology has also contributed to the huge accumulation of

electronic waste materials which, unless governed properly, contributes to

pollution thus affecting the environment adversely. In order to prevent further

degradation of the environment, Ministry of Environment and Forrest had laid

down certain rules regarding the disposal of scraps/e-waste. Consumers of

technology need to identify and dispose electronic waste in accordance to these

said rules.

Narula Institute of technology, in adherence to these regulations, have started

the process of recycling of its electronic waste in collaboration with Metamorf. In

doing so, it has become environment friendly and has also contributed in

generating additional finance from disposal of such e-waste. This has also

reduced our overall IT budget.
