 E-WASTE

 Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO)
industries generate
tremendous amount
of E-Waste
High speed turnover of
new technology makes
electronic gadgets
reach obsolescence.
 Surplus electronic
machines from neighboring
Asian countries end up
in Philippine local market
legally and/or illegally.
 A study conducted by
engineers from the
University of the Philippines
revealed that Filipinos
discard millions of mobile
phones every year
 The number
continued to increase
in the succeeding
years, with over 24.9
million units of
discarded phones
predicted by 2021
The study found that
95 percent or
almost all of the
respondents have no
knowledge on proper
waste disposal of
mobile phones

practiced by TSDs:
CRT Crushing
Leaded glass is crushed and
resulting lead-bearing glass
cullets are exported
overseas to Korea and Japan
for further processing.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
through Molecular
Gasification Reactor (MGR)
shredded PCB is fed and converted into
metal alloys, recyclable carbon and
glasified slag in two (2) processes.
 Recovery of Precious Metals
(Gold, Platinum, and Palladium)

GOLD PLATINUM PALLADIUM

precious metals are reclaimed from Ceramic Pin Grid Array

(CPGA), gold trimmings, gold pins, Field Programmable Gate

Array (FPGA), and PCBs.

Environmental Impacts
Open Burning of E-Waste 
Exposure
to toxic gases can cause
adverse effects on the central
nervous system.
Environmental Impacts
Dismantling and crushing
operations of circuit boards and
related electronic items
– toxic respirable
suspended particulates can be
released and inhaled by workers.
Environmental Impacts
Acid stripping in silver and gold
recovery by informal recyclers –
the fumes coming from these acids
can damage
the lungs and cause other
respiratory and nervous ailments
 Environmental Impacts
Precious metals recovery by
informal recyclers – results to soil
contamination because of improper handling
of spent chemicals. These substances can
infiltrate into the groundwater thus
posing potential threat of nearby receptors.
