India has become the world's largest dumping ground for electronic waste, with most of it processed and recycled manually, often by teenagers. E-waste contains toxic chemicals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury, but also valuable materials like copper, platinum, and gold. However, due to the complicated and expensive process of recycling, much of the e-waste ends up in landfills. In India's Seelampur neighborhood, nearly 50,000 people, many teenagers, scavenge through e-waste for old cellphones, computers, and video game controllers. The health risks are high, and many suffer from damaged hands and fingers. Although some facilities use modern machinery to process e-waste, most of the work is done by hand. Memory units, processors, screens, keyboards, and motherboards can be reused, and big hard drives pulled from computers or servers are another moneymaker. However, only 17% of electronics discarded globally were recycled in 2019, with much of it illegally shipped to developing countries, where it's handled by informal workers without the knowledge or tools to safely handle it. This is contaminating the environment and affecting the human body, leading to skin diseases, different types of cancers, and organ damage.
If they didnt have this to sell to buy food they'd starve, since THIS is what is paying for fod, Indias problem is OVERPOPULATION and people having 6,7,8,9 children they cant even feed and then they complain about their poverty!
Thanks to major electronics brands like Apple, Samsung and Sony etc, these equipments now are no more repairs friendly. You end up getting these gadgets dumped when they stop working and repair shops don't find it easy to fix them. These goons have ruined India and it's people's lives
@@prajullas you're either too funny or too dumb to say that. India was the most self reliant country before the western world countries invaded it and looted with all the means possible. Electronics is not the subject, the eWaste is
You are right, the suppliers are not helping by making these appliances non-repairable. In most devices they are thrown away as soon as the battery fails. It can`t easily be replaced by the consumer. It`s a wicked waste, all in the name of profit!
"These goons have ruined India and it's people's lives" Well if you actually stopped and think you'd realise like the video and others like it say- they are scrounging the dumps for bits of copper and metals to sell to buy FOOD, so if you take that revenue source away they will not HAVE that scrap metal to sell to buy food with- they will STARVE. India has always been a craphole, too many people having way too many children they cant even feed! a large chunk of the people dont even have flush toilets!
My first laptop had a battery it lasted 10 years it was easy to get it out. Now new laptops have battery inside and I can't even remove it easy with a screwdriver because if I do it the metal around the usb ports will fold/break. I can t even get out the ssd to sell it
The most effective solution is to lower consumption. Population control being the starting and most critical point besides other measures to be taken. But doesn’t look like governments would react as required.

I would ask my dad, who is from a "3rd world country," why every video like this depicts people in saddles, sitting on the ground to be interviewed and always in a squatting position while working. His reply: "It looks good for TV."

I hope to god that these parts that are being taken out of an OLD device are being sold as USED parts even though I did NOT hear her mention that. So the $100 Motherboard I bought for my laptop was probably out of someone's junked laptop and I got it for a real bargain at $100 for something USED and was thrown away. WOW, what a fecking deal I got and it only lasted another 6 months. People, beward of used and NEW parts because I obviously got screwed front and back.
USED was probably WHY it only lasted 6 months, testing components to pass them doesnt mean they are any good, older electronics develop intermittent problems, similar to lead acid car batteries, after a bout 10 months my new NAPA battery would be dead in the morning, charging it up it would be fine for a week and then be dead again. NAPA checked it with TWO different battery check devices and both said the battery was GOOD. A couple of weeks later and 2 more dead mornings I bought a new battery and the problem went away, so despite the TWO testing devices saying it was GOOD, it obviously was not and the tests MISSED it.
India needs introduce waste management initiatives very soon. It very sad to be godly people perform ungodliness acts of not taking care of the environment and the earth. Please do not postpone until God have to descend himself to wipe everything clean.
These are illegally running services for their earning they don't know how to manage waste so the throw away what they can't sell. Actual waste management consists of sorting waste into different sections and what left out is sent to used as base for making roads or they're dumped for 10-12 years as dumphills and then used as raw for cement factories.
Starting work at 16 is completely normal, when was in highschool you got a diploma at 16 Years Old, after grade ten .. that allowed you start a government sponsored apprentice program in many regulated trades. And this is is Canada
A lot of facilities are opening in india for recyling e waste. First we throw away our e waste but now the vendors come in villages for buying e waste and they give around 50 to 100rs for a dead phone.
That's good Not like good for nothing let them clean up the broke down stuff Here in state of Karnataka you'll see dumping trash near roads that's how civil it is !!!!
The poor should not have the right to give birth to a child. Actually, anyone who can't buy property for their children should not have the right to have a child. To be more precise, those who can't help their children realize their strength and help them monetize it should also be stripped of their rights to have a child. Those who think it is right to kick out their child after 18 should also have no right to have a child. This world needs eligibility criteria, without earning this right they can't have child
the rich shouldn't have the right to have children. They justify all their capitalist, wealth hoarding, self-indulgent behaviour with wanting to 'pass on their legacy to their child.' Lets stop the rich from breeding to solve these issues. The rich must prove they are not going to invest their children with greedy, capitalist mindsets to be allowed to breed
THE common theme among ALL of these countries in these kinds of videos- countrie sliek Africa, Indonesia, India- is TOO MANY CHILDREN, hoards of them running around and the parents telling the camera crew they have 6,7,8,9, children and they are living in a DUMP, with the kids scrounging thru trash for scraps of metal to sell for a dollar or two to buy FOOD with while the parents lament their poverty! STOP having 6,7,8,9 children you cant even feed and you wont be in such POVERTY! Africa I remember ALWAYS had these starving pot bellied kids in photos shown to Americans- "DONATE $2 a month to help little Bastian EAT and go to school" and even now 40 years later they STILL have the problem!, WHY? because the the total number of people in Africa increased from 229 million in 1950 to 630 million in 1990, There are 1.7 billion there as of 2023 this is totally OUR fault and it's unsustainable! Animals are the same way, the more food there is available the faster they reproduce
A machine would do this job and make everything safer and cleaner. But indias import tariffs and red tape does not allow high tech machines to come into the country.
The environmental damage was happening long before E-waste became category. It's a little misleading, majority of the waste in their landfills is local. Their practices & procedures on how they deal with it is why it's in the the present condition. 99% of imported waste was purchased by them. Insider paints a picture that 1st world countries dumped this problem on their shores. That's just not the case.
What an absolutely terrible video. It barely covered the main topic, repeated the same points multiple times, and even was misleading. It showed a river contaminated from garment industry implying the foam was from electronics. Claimed the teen had no finger prints when he clearly had them. Really just all around low quality video.

Ohhh really first time I am seeing this thanks inside 💠 🤝
India needs startups in recycling ♻️
Scrap uncle
Too much Success story of Chandrayaan-3 and India in general became indigestible by western media houses, so here they are to balance things out. Good job @InsiderNews for such a burning face. This adds even more success-hunger to our already success-hungriest country on earth 🕉️ 😉
And the worst part, they are the ones dumping here.
India is literally a toilet lmao .
Blame it on Englishman, isnt that the usual charade.
So they narrated the whole story on pickpockets who snatch phones by throwing stones at moving trains. Atleast put some effort of you're making a fake video who tf uses a stone to recycle motherboards near a railway track and who pays 3$ each for a e waste.
@@exgod1When US funded Taliban and Al-Qaeda for terrorism they were great until they got the taste of their medicine. It's just like the immigrants are great until they showed their face in Europe. Stop wasting your funds on those so-called soft hearted immigrants lover anti India sentiments. A cancer grown in the lungs won't take much time to spread to the whole body .
Theres 9 billion cell phones in use right now. Several times that are in the trash. Imagine all other electronics
Scammers watching this video 😳😳
me a eletrical car mechanic ...looks at his soft smooth hands as they talk about the cuts and bruises : rolls eyes
@Dr.Lev_Lumineskyou don't get the point.
At the same time this very country put a rover on the moon. Means that money isn't the issue here. The government just doesn't seem to want to spend it on waste management.
Just see how less money we used to put our rover on it. Also I am not saying the problem is not there, I saying it was not that big of an issue as the video trying to make it.
There is others things we have to worry about.
Because INDIA has 10 times more population than america. What would america do if all indians migrate to america . This would be the same situatuion there.
@@GowthamV07 oh, so because India has more people, it can't employ them to properly handle its waste?
EXACTLY! instead of helping their own PEOPLE, they throw all that money and resources sending a ship to the fking MOON!! like WE have already been there since the 1960s, we know whats there, be brought back samples, we dont NEED more pretty photos of landings and dead rocks and dust- they should focus on their PEOPLE first and worry about the moon LAST!
Putting a rover on the moon isn’t impressive in 2023. The U.S. and Russia did it 60 years ago.
Buying a pair of gloves shouldn’t be any more then a shirt or pants

It's very hot there and wearing gloves will make it mode hot

Immigrants Immigrants Immigrants, they are not Indians.
Yeah these are hindus from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
India has become the world's largest dumping ground for electronic waste, with most of it processed and recycled manually, often by teenagers. E-waste contains toxic chemicals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury, but also valuable materials like copper, platinum, and gold. However, due to the complicated and expensive process of recycling, much of the e-waste ends up in landfills. In India's Seelampur neighborhood, nearly 50,000 people, many teenagers, scavenge through e-waste for old cellphones, computers, and video game controllers. The health risks are high, and many suffer from damaged hands and fingers. Although some facilities use modern machinery to process e-waste, most of the work is done by hand. Memory units, processors, screens, keyboards, and motherboards can be reused, and big hard drives pulled from computers or servers are another moneymaker. However, only 17% of electronics discarded globally were recycled in 2019, with much of it illegally shipped to developing countries, where it's handled by informal workers without the knowledge or tools to safely handle it. This is contaminating the environment and affecting the human body, leading to skin diseases, different types of cancers, and organ damage.
If they didnt have this to sell to buy food they'd starve, since THIS is what is paying for fod, Indias problem is OVERPOPULATION and people having 6,7,8,9 children they cant even feed and then they complain about their poverty!
i feel proud on india .. jai india
Thanks to major electronics brands like Apple, Samsung and Sony etc, these equipments now are no more repairs friendly. You end up getting these gadgets dumped when they stop working and repair shops don't find it easy to fix them. These goons have ruined India and it's people's lives
Life in India was ruined even before electronics.
@@prajullas you're either too funny or too dumb to say that. India was the most self reliant country before the western world countries invaded it and looted with all the means possible. Electronics is not the subject, the eWaste is
You are right, the suppliers are not helping by making these appliances non-repairable. In most devices they are thrown away as soon as the battery fails. It can`t easily be replaced by the consumer. It`s a wicked waste, all in the name of profit!
"These goons have ruined India and it's people's lives"
Well if you actually stopped and think you'd realise like the video and others like it say- they are scrounging the dumps for bits of copper and metals to sell to buy FOOD, so if you take that revenue source away they will not HAVE that scrap metal to sell to buy food with- they will STARVE.
India has always been a craphole, too many people having way too many children they cant even feed! a large chunk of the people dont even have flush toilets!
My first laptop had a battery it lasted 10 years it was easy to get it out. Now new laptops have battery inside and I can't even remove it easy with a screwdriver because if I do it the metal around the usb ports will fold/break. I can t even get out the ssd to sell it
Throwing something away is easy.
Recycling it is a different skill on its own.
Yes it takes absolute mind work and integration i would like learn this stuff because I want to be different from ordinary educated people
The most effective solution is to lower consumption.
Population control being the starting and most critical point besides other measures to be taken. But doesn’t look like governments would react as required.
Modi is on the take, like the vast majority of Indian civil serpents.
@@SimonTmtewhat India itself has surpassed China in population with 34% of the land area and has more than 4times population density than of US .Still you'll say we are in negative.Cost of living in Mumbai is approx 35% of new york while average income is of 10% than NY. Population control is the only key to save resources if we want to keep the earth habitable.
@@iamhritikjhamain thing is standard and expectation of living, in countries like India people are okay with low standard of living and they marry and have kids , if their desires were higher they wouldn't settle down until they have achieved those goals ,thats basically the difference between west and us mentally
@@drinkwoter mindset and living standard varies person to person we can't judge the whole population for a thought
All women( especially) who thinks of being single is good in their teens, 20's, early 30's realise they need kids towards late 30's early 40's when even IVF become unsure.. as their parents die, friends got away.. siblings (if there are) move away... no husband, bf's, kids... there will be a hollowness staring at them.. money, travel,hobbies, shopping cant fill that sadly, as humans are social animals.. they may endup in oldage homes with noone tp enquire abt them.. and die lonely -sadly -depressed... men are historically used to die lonely, they can be lone wolf.. its new to women.. even in europe lonely women getting to old age is now only happening and that's why indian and asian nurses go there to take care these lonely old aged people.. its staring indians too shortly
Gulzar is a handsome young man. He could be a model, for example. I wish him and his hardworking friends blessings and good fortune.

I pay a “Recycling fee” in Canada as well as Carbon tax, 15% sales tax and 20% income tax. Glad to see that all these taxes add up to more rich people than ever before and the poor ending up with my waste because of mismanagement and corruption 👍 Hold these companies and governments accountable EVERYWHERE.
We, humans, are really destroying this earth.
Western media will never stop comparing Asia
Only India
You shift the video from a poor ewaste picker in india to the largest e waste processor in america what a transition.
That is why we like to see insider casestudies. You go from bottom to top and top to bottom without any hesitation
Sarcasm or Critisism
I’ll take your old electronics any day!
The US workers are doing the same thing...sorting waste manually except they're wearing gloves😂😂😂
And shoes. And masks. And arm sleeves. And...
blame the governments..they allow this to happen
Listen to your mother. Education will give you a better chance at life.
& that educated produced more e waste
You say the electronics cause all these issue but look at how filthy the whole country is, throwing trash and openly defecating in river doesn't have anything to do with it right??
Who else thought their personal phone was ringing at 2:44 and had to pause their tablet? 😂
We fight not against flesh and blood but principalities in high places
Every Indian "my kids are going to school to have a better life" - nothing ever changes -_-
Politicians and Private Sector failing miserably
And low moral ordinary educated people
No wisdom don't want to work
Useless humans
Why don't Indian government do anything about this wastes.. it's really very sad😢😢
Still the eyes👁️👁️ of the boy was shining with hope✨✨ of becoming a police officer👮♂️.
Seems like the first problem is general waste. Solve that and enforce it then everything will follow in line
It won't happen because it's too expensive to recycle electronics in western countries.
My respect for these superheroes👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

If the government took care of its people instead of their own friends and bank accounts, these kids wouldn't be living this life.
Seelampur is the mini Pakistan of Delhi
That's not the majority of the world's electronics
Why this kind of works are done by people with name like , Gulzar , ali and Mohammad aleem 😂😂😂
Yeah and beef and cow meat also made by these name guys.
A basic set of tools, m ask and puncture proof gloves is all that is needed to make their work easier and safer for them.
They covered this in Futurama Season 7 episode 3....12 YEARS AGO.
Watching from india
Why do you guys also show the bad side of India... Later this year India has launched the project to Transform Asia Largest Slum Dharavi into a planned living neighborhood with all kind of facilities like lakes gardens etc and biggest sea bridge in india etc... Western world😂
Because india is poor
I would ask my dad, who is from a "3rd world country," why every video like this depicts people in saddles, sitting on the ground to be interviewed and always in a squatting position while working.
His reply: "It looks good for TV."
lol its not staged, its reality for more than 300 million people in India. Maybe your dad wants to forget where he came from
Squatting position is super common.
@@gatech5190 Yup, just a pretentious comment by a person who has no idea about the ground reality.
Ignorance is bliss for some.
@@gatech5190they went to some slums this is what they see. Let them go to the suburbs and homes there. Why always some slums!!
If these teenagers not do these things, then who will do??
I see many videos about these types of ricky work, if they not do these low class work then who will do. These work are also important. Only Machine can't take there place, there should be a human to work
why dont they sell it online? a ton of people would buy old/retro electronics at a high price
India is rich but people are poor, Millions of INDIANS living under poverty.
wow, India is really a one big cespool
India is doing good but they need atleast 20 to 30 years more to compete with china or any other European country.
no according to their media they are already a superpower
@@jetli740keep cryin😮
I hope to god that these parts that are being taken out of an OLD device are being sold as USED parts even though I did NOT hear her mention that. So the $100 Motherboard I bought for my laptop was probably out of someone's junked laptop and I got it for a real bargain at $100 for something USED and was thrown away. WOW, what a fecking deal I got and it only lasted another 6 months. People, beward of used and NEW parts because I obviously got screwed front and back.
USED was probably WHY it only lasted 6 months, testing components to pass them doesnt mean they are any good, older electronics develop intermittent problems, similar to lead acid car batteries, after a bout 10 months my new NAPA battery would be dead in the morning, charging it up it would be fine for a week and then be dead again. NAPA checked it with TWO different battery check devices and both said the battery was GOOD.
A couple of weeks later and 2 more dead mornings I bought a new battery and the problem went away, so despite the TWO testing devices saying it was GOOD, it obviously was not and the tests MISSED it.
How many phones do people go through? I can count the number of cellphones i've had on one hand.
Maybe ask why people go through so many Phones. The main reason is Built-in obsolescence.
Why work in such conditions. They should come to bomaby and live in vasai virar and they can get some decent job better then this.
But they simply wanna live hell of capital of nai delhi 😂😂😂
India needs introduce waste management initiatives very soon. It very sad to be godly people perform ungodliness acts of not taking care of the environment and the earth. Please do not postpone until God have to descend himself to wipe everything clean.
India has waste management 😂. Sadly its people dont put everything in the bin.
These are illegally running services for their earning they don't know how to manage waste so the throw away what they can't sell. Actual waste management consists of sorting waste into different sections and what left out is sent to used as base for making roads or they're dumped for 10-12 years as dumphills and then used as raw for cement factories.
No, they need BIRTH CONTROL first and foremost!
Why? India can send mission to dead a moon, but neglect her own living environment?
We doing our best buddy.
Beautiful Delhi ❤
I wanted to send my power bank in a recycling facility but unfortunately never found one.
environmentally friendly, good
Hey Beavis, this dude makes money out of trash every day.
Haha
Shame on the country.
India needs to clean up.
Starting work at 16 is completely normal, when was in highschool you got a diploma at 16 Years Old, after grade ten .. that allowed you start a government sponsored apprentice program in many regulated trades. And this is is Canada
Plz Aware them and Save them . This can destroy their precious lives. Make regulation for these E-waste dumping. Government of India
Yep the Indian Computer famous Hacker, of the world, need there systems updated all the time. To hack better
A lot of facilities are opening in india for recyling e waste.
First we throw away our e waste but now the vendors come in villages for buying e waste and they give around 50 to 100rs for a dead phone.
That's good
Not like good for nothing
let them clean up the broke down stuff
Here in state of Karnataka you'll see dumping trash near roads that's how civil it is !!!!
The poor should not have the right to give birth to a child.
Actually, anyone who can't buy property for their children should not have the right to have a child.
To be more precise, those who can't help their children realize their strength and help them monetize it should also be stripped of their rights to have a child.
Those who think it is right to kick out their child after 18 should also have no right to have a child.
This world needs eligibility criteria, without earning this right they can't have child
the rich shouldn't have the right to have children. They justify all their capitalist, wealth hoarding, self-indulgent behaviour with wanting to 'pass on their legacy to their child.' Lets stop the rich from breeding to solve these issues. The rich must prove they are not going to invest their children with greedy, capitalist mindsets to be allowed to breed
Bro I think most of those people are illegal Bangladeshis which were given helping hand by congressi pigs to gain vote and win elections
THE common theme among ALL of these countries in these kinds of videos- countrie sliek Africa, Indonesia, India- is TOO MANY CHILDREN, hoards of them running around and the parents telling the camera crew they have 6,7,8,9, children and they are living in a DUMP, with the kids scrounging thru trash for scraps of metal to sell for a dollar or two to buy FOOD with while the parents lament their poverty!
STOP having 6,7,8,9 children you cant even feed and you wont be in such POVERTY!
Africa I remember ALWAYS had these starving pot bellied kids in photos shown to Americans- "DONATE $2 a month to help little Bastian EAT and go to school" and even now 40 years later they STILL have the problem!, WHY? because the the total number of people in Africa increased from 229 million in 1950 to 630 million in 1990, There are 1.7 billion there as of 2023 this is totally OUR fault and it's unsustainable!
Animals are the same way, the more food there is available the faster they reproduce
5:25 Out of B-roll? That isn't even e-waste

A machine would do this job and make everything safer and cleaner. But indias import tariffs and red tape does not allow high tech machines to come into the country.
lmao if only they knew how to operate a damn screwdriver!!! there hands would still be good lmaoooo😂😂😂😂😂
The environmental damage was happening long before E-waste became category. It's a little misleading, majority of the waste in their landfills is local. Their practices & procedures on how they deal with it is why it's in the the present condition. 99% of imported waste was purchased by them. Insider paints a picture that 1st world countries dumped this problem on their shores. That's just not the case.
At least they don't work at scam call centers!
What an absolutely terrible video. It barely covered the main topic, repeated the same points multiple times, and even was misleading. It showed a river contaminated from garment industry implying the foam was from electronics. Claimed the teen had no finger prints when he clearly had them. Really just all around low quality video.
I guess the British had guts to defame India but not the budget as they are already in crisis 😂
Wow❤❤❤❤
