Collecting wires and accumulating them in a jute bag does not mean corporate electronic recycling. E-waste data destruction is much more complicated than this. Although collecting wires and other electronic peripherals and parts that have come to the end of their useful life cycle is still a part of electronic recycling services and practices that are quite prevalent in countries such as India, China, Vietnam and many other developing Nations.

It is also true that the people who are involved in this kind of e-waste data collection and destruction do not usually have access to protective gear or equipment. They also lack the required awareness that is essential for handling such dangerous materials

According to the latest research it is found that these individuals who live below poverty line in many countries are actively involved in these activities and end up inhaling a lot of toxic chemicals and fumes when they come in direct contact with such electronic waste materials. 

These are not only hazardous to their health but the environment as a whole as well. Do you know that these chemicals upon entering our body can increase the chances of spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, premature births, deformities and mutations, congenital malformations and also abnormal thyroid functions and increased levels of lead in our blood? Not just this, but it also hampers the function of our lungs and causes neurobehavioral disturbances.

Needless to mention if ewaste data destruction is left to continue in such a haywire fashion it would also lead to security risks and identity thefts among scams and frauds and ransomware incidents and a lot more.
