Introduction

This initiative is the step towards a cleaner and greener earth. This move is one of the ways to show that we are concerned and thus we request all our customers to join this movement to make it successful by way of contributing their unusable / non repairable product (fit for discarding) for recycling.

E-waste has been defined as “waste electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing and repair process, which are intended to be discarded”. Whereas Electrical and electronic equipment has been defined as “equipment which is dependent on electrical currents or electro-magnetic fields to be functional”. Whereas *end of life product means when a product is non-operational or non-repairable.

Perfect ID E-waste is any User Terminals and Systems, Tablets or accessory which is not useable and it is at it’s end of life.

E-waste at Perfect ID is plastic, silicon & aluminium, copper, gold, glass which can adversely effect the atmosphere and hence managing its disposal at the end of its life-cycle in a proper way is important. Apart from affecting the environment it can also affect the health of the people.

Recycling of old IT products is beneficial in following ways:

1. Recycling end-of-life products is vital if we are to save resources and minimize waste. Encouraging recycling of all useful and valuable material from e-waste so as to conserve the ever depleting natural resources.
2. Disposal of e-waste in a scientific way reduces the environment pollution. The correct disposal of old product will prevent negative consequences for the environment and human health.

Negative consequences of disposal of electronics products if not done in proper way:

1. Oil & Gases present is some of e-waste like compressor may cause environment pollution.
2. Burning of plastic in open area causes air pollution.
3. Non Organic Material used in processing of e-waste may get mixed with earth, air, water and cause health issues.

In India, E-Waste (Management) Rules 2016 have been notified by the Central Government under the guidance of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Perfect RFID stands committed to implement E-Waste Rules. Perfect RFID has tied-up with the CPCB (Pollution Control Board) authorized e-Waste recycler to facilitate E Waste disposal by our customers after it reaches end-of-life stage. In this process, the customer shall interact directly with us on our toll free number for handling the e-waste products.

Customers are urged to strictly follow the guidelines as per e-Waste rules as any failure on their part would invite penal action, which may attract imprisonment upto 5 years or with fine upto Rs. 1 Lac or both (under Environment Protection Act 1986).

Guidance on the Disposal of End-of-Life Products:

1. Consumers may contribute to resource conservation and prevent environmental problems by a simple action — properly depositing their old IT products and its accessories.

Recycling of Products: Few customers may assume that product at end-of-life stage has no value. But they still contain many reusable or recyclable materials. Recyclable Parts of old product*.

3. Valuable metals are used as component materials for the PCB circuit board. During the smelting process, valuable metals such as gold, silver, and copper can be retrieved from these electronic parts. The metals that are retrieved can be used for new electronic parts or can be sold separately on their own.
4. Plastic materials are used for structural components for internal or external cover. The plastic materials that have been collected are recycled as energy resources after going through a heat recovery process. Recycled plastic may be used to produce items such as traffic cones, plastic fencing, and car bumpers.
