. E-waste or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are loosely discarded, surplus, obsolete, broken, electrical or electronic devices.

E-waste can be hazardous, when it is disposed and treated in environmentally unsound manner. Direct contact of the harmful materials such as lead, cadmium, chromium, brominated flame retardants or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and exposure to toxic fumes may cause serious health hazards. Furthermore, recycling activities such as dismantling of electrical equipment without the use of Personal Protective Equipment as specified by the E-waste Management rules, 2016 may potentially bear an increased risk of injury.

All the LG products are safe for human beings to use. However in case of breakage/dismantling in unscientific way, it could cause damage to environment or human beings (directly or indirectly). Chances are there that user might come in contact with chemicals which could cause irritation in skin & eyes and might cause dizziness etc. Also sharp edges of electronic items could cause damage to body.

Accumulation of toxic substances by improper recycling methods may cause serious environmental problems. Toxic chemicals and heavy metals leaching into soil and water may cause pollution, while Toxic fumes reach in to the environment and cause air pollution.

If e-waste products aren't disposed of safely, they can pose a safety hazard to people, animals and the environment. In addition to contaminating soil, it can pollute the air and leach into water sources. You should dispose of your e-waste in proper manner so that it reaches to the authorised recycler having the required infrastructure & processes for correct & safe recycling. It enables protection of the environment and health from toxic substances contained in e-waste.
