Report on the E – Waste Management Workshop

We at Ahlcon International believe that being a good citizen, who cares for nature is just as important as being a proficient scholar. To be aligned with this thought, our school organized a workshop on E- Waste management on 30th January 2023 to keep us updated about our environment and responsibilities towards it. It was conducted by, Mr Rakesh Khatri, popularly known as nest man of India along with Mr. Nipun Kaushik. Middle school students attended this workshop attentively and joyfully. Mr Nipun Kaushik told us about the fundamentals of E-waste management. He explained what exactly is meant by e-waste management. He told us the solutions to the problem of e-waste management which were: Reuse, Recycle and Repair. He proposed to conduct e-waste collection drives in our school. He told us a motto “Buy Less Use More.”  Speaking on the ever-increasing consumption of electrical products, Mr. Kaushik emphasized on the importance of having a systematic, formalized E-Waste management sector that can handle the increasing amount of E-Waste in a manner which reduces any mismanagement of the same and its subsequent harmful effects.Further, while talking about the extended producer responsibility, Mr. Kaushik explained that the responsibility of the electronic product consumers also plays a role in E-Waste management and discussed the ways in which students as individuals can contribute to the management of E-Waste.
