Abstract
However, India is rich in ores and mineral, but E-waste recycling is necessary due to the report of national and international studies, which cautioned on the generation, treatment and accumulation of e-waste in India. Current data indicate that the total domestic e-waste generation including imports is around 382979 MT, however waste available for recycling and actually recycled are 144143 MT and 19000 MT, respectively. In which recycling by non-formal and formal sector are 95% and 5%, respectively. On the other hand, India has developed expertise in handling verities of metallic wastes in an organized and safe man-ner. The development of individual process or combined pro-cesses for handling the e-waste is underway. Eco - friendly
and energy-saving processes are necessary to comply with stringent environmental regulations.The paper includes the recent trend of e-waste generation, recycling process and its future prospects particularly in India.
