Without safe recycling, most of these toxic components will end in land fill-poisioning soil and water.
Introduction
We at Haier in our continuous efforts of making a future better adopted eco-friendly practices and procedures. We acting towards our
social, moral and statutory responsibility towards the environment and sustainable development have pledged to recycle electronic items,
such as TV/LED/LCD, refrigerator, AC etc. that are no longer useful. Haier is stepping towards leading a more conservation and
optimization of resources and thereby making environment safer. We request you to donate or utilize take back scheme for your electronic
good when it reaches its end-of-life, so that it can be reuse -recycle and reinvent.
"Hazard of e waste on environment and Human Health :-
The informal method of recycling extends health hazards. Primary and secondary exposure to toxic metals, such as lead, results in
diseases like Heart, Liver, Lung & Spleen Damage. Open-air burning of electronic waste, used to retrieve valuable components such as
gold, not only causes damages to environment but also to human health. Incineration from burning e-waste creates fine particulate matter,
which is linked to heart and respiratory disease. However the above said is only example and the informal way to recycle causes numerous health hazards. During
such informal recycling no caution or care are kept to either secure the environment or human health. The informal method of recycling extended environment
hazards too. For example when different e-waste is burnt to extract metals from it, toxic chemicals are released in to the air, damaging the atmosphere. Such
informal ways creates noise, water and air pollution.
Application temp. range of air conditioner18oC~43oC.
Application temp. range of air conditioner -7oC~54oC.

"Why proper handling and management of e-waste :-
The electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) have valuable materials and hazardous/toxics substances in their components. The electronic products and
electrical equipment after their useful life may not cause any harm if it is stored safely in households/stores. However, if the E-waste is opened-up and attempts are
made for retrieval of useful components or material in an un-scientific manner or if the material is disposed in open, then it may cause health risks and damage to
environment. E-waste can be considered as a resource that contains useful material of economic benefit for recovery of plastics, iron, glass, aluminum, copper
and precious metals such as silver, gold, platinum, and palladium and lead, cadmium, mercury etc. However, at the same time presence of heavy metals (As, Cd,
Hg, Pb etc.) and other toxic substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), etched chemicals, etc. may pose risk to health and environment during
handling and recovery operations. E-waste is a problem of increasing proportions especially when crude methods are adopted for recovery of useful components
from E-waste.
Thus, there is a need to encourage OUR SELF for recycling of all useful and valuable material from e-waste so as to conserve the ever depleting natural resources.
Electronic component are increasingly made from recycled materials, for example for making new LCDs, more than 50% of indium is sourced by recycling used
LCDs. The E-waste thus presents a scenario of urban mining for recovery of ferrous/non-ferrous/ rare earth metal and precious metal in addition to plastics and
glass. However, presence of hazardous and toxic substances in the component of e-waste necessitates environmentally sound management of e-waste including
collection and recycling/treatment in an environmentally sound manner.
"Management and Effect on sustainable future:-
Sustainable development as defined by Brundtland Commission is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.”
The e-waste since a long time had been seen as an easy and cheapest source of metals. However due to lack of proper consideration for such source of metals as
well as proper methods of recycling in India, we sent our e-waste to the improper channel/scrap vendor and thereby participated in degrading the environment.
Moreover, through this improper method of extraction of metals we till date had wasted approximately 40% of the precious metals and simultaneously caused
damage to our environment. If we opt the proper way to extract metals through proper channel of recycling then we can achieve approximately 90% of extraction
rate of our metals as well as a better way to save our environment. However, if today while selling off our material to improper channel we will not think about our
sustainable future then it is for sure that the coming generations will be facing crisis of the metals.
