Dear Friends,
It was great hearing some of you, who responded to our first email.
It was certainly an eye-opener for us at Group TenPlus* too, that the
concern and awareness about e-waste in Goa is increasing.
While the bill introducing '*Ewaste Management and Handling Rules' *will
be coming into effect shortly; soon, it will be mandatory to hand over
your e-waste for recycling only to an authorised recycler in your state
or territory.
*What does this bill mean to you?*
*If you are an electronics / IT / Electrical goods dealer:* you need to
keep a bin or demarcated area to deposit e-waste; you need to apply for
permission to the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB); Records
have to be maintained and returns filed yearly, and you have to hand
over the e-waste to an authorised recycler.
*If you are a corporate, institute, Hotel or government body;* you have
to file returns to the GSPCB.
*All others like home users; in short -- an end user: * have to ensure
that you give your e-waste to an authorised recycler. or deposit it in
bins marked for the purpose
While we are still grappling to come to terms about handling wet waste
and dry waste, nobody has given it a thought about the increasing menace
of e-waste: a type of waste that needs specialised handling and disposal.
Please do go through the videos attached in this email, and you will
realise where we are heading.

The effort for us to work together to provide a clean, hygienic
environment for us and our future has already started.

problem and are our partners include: *Smart link (D-link), GME - Zarhak
Moulders, Siemens, and Hindustan Unilever*. Many more are in the process
of joining in.
Come be a part of the change. Creating a better future, starting today.
Yours Faithfully,
