E-Sangrahan: A Sustainable Paradigm and comprehensive framework for efficient E-Waste Management towards a Greener Future

According to experts, E-Waste is one of the most dangerous environmental concern India is facing. According to ASSOCHAM an industrial body predicts that by 2020, India will generate 5.2 million tons of E-Waste. E-waste stands for Electronic waste that has been discarded. Computers, monitors, and other electronic appliances contain electronic items harmful to nature if not recycled properly. E-waste plays a major role in polluting soil, and air which is caused due to irregular ways of disposing of E-Waste. There are many governments driven initiatives for E-Waste management, but the awareness and the significance of W-Waste management is still not reached to the larger community. The proposed work - E-Sangrahan is an effort to tackle the problems faced while dealing with E-Waste. A web application is developed to handle the E-Waste management process in a much ease and user-friendly way. E-Sangrahan is the future of recycling E-Waste, which helps create a sustainable future. E-Sangrahan offers a dynamic website that is simple to use and everybody can access. The website includes a live user-friendly E-Waste warehouse locator, that helps dispose of E-Waste by yourself. The locator even tells you about the directions to be taken and how to get there by road. The novelty or uniqueness of E-Sangrahan is the fact that the website also consists of a machine learning model that helps people to identify the type of E-Waste it belongs to. The objective of this machine learning model is to remove the confusion between E-Waste items and non-E-Waste items because if any E-Waste item is not recycled, the environmental impact is large. E-Sangrahan would be the next revolution in the theme of E-Waste.
