摘要：Big industries approach towards producing a newer product each time dismissing the earlier product asdiscarded is basically a wrong concept. Instead, they should ensure utility of earlier products with minormodifications to keep the earlier products viable; thus avoiding the e-waste generation.To be more explicit today in market all older Personal Computers are treated as waste. Perhaps R&D couldhave created some solutions to make them compatible with recent models with minor modifications,alteration, or through modular approach. Humankind has to learn that reusability is an essential part of living.Approach of western world to use and throw has been in conflict with the same that has resulted intomountains of wastes everywhere, particularly in third world countries.Reutilization of electronic products should be encouraged, which had been practiced earlier by elders. Theindustries generating these products must look the product life cycle starting from its creation till its disposal.The calculation of products cost should be done with a view of products life cycle. Reutilization is very vitalconcept and need to be implemented in electronic waste specially to reduce load of this type of garbage onearth.Electronic waste management has become a gigantic task. The problem needs to be addressed critically.Author feels that use and throw approach has been the main reason behind this problem and suggestsreutilization/useful modifications of existing system. Author has deliberated upon areas relating toautomotive power management, data processing heavy machinery to illustrate utility of principles.Authorities responsible for environment and environmentalists have already taken up the issue regionally,and have formed guidelines or are in the process to do so, for the disposal of e-waste in conjunction withelectronic industry. Key problems of implementation of such guidelines and its financial implications havebeen deliberated upon in the paper
