| Abstract | Management of e-waste has been an issue of growing concern in the last decade. The EEC approved the RoHS directive setting up limits for hazardous substances (heavy metals and brominated flame retardants) used in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic devices exported to European countries. In Brazil this issue is regulated by the National Policy on Solid Waste that demands that e-waste encompassing hazardous substances are required to be returned to the manufacturer for further remanufacturing or recycling. This paper is aimed to analyze all the existing initiatives for mobile phone take back in Rio Claro city, Brazil, from the standpoint of their organization and efficiency in furthering these devices to remanufacturing and recycling industrial plants. Interviews were carried out with managers of three public ecopoints, four mobile phone stores (Vivo, Oi, Clar, Tim), the local Planning and Development Agency (Sepladema), one department store (C&A), one mobile phone servicing company (Gouveia and Gouveia), and a logistic company (GM&C) that transports and distributes the collected handsets and accessories to companies that perform remanufacture (Suzaquim) and recycling (Umicore, Belmont). The Brazilian Association of Electrical and Electronic Industry (ABINEE) that presently is starting an e-waste take back program in several states were also interviewed. As a result of this study a bill on management of e-waste was submitted to the Board of Alderman and an environmental education program is presently underway on public and private schools. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
