As part of Lions Service Week, special focus was given to environmental protection with an emphasis on responsible e-waste management. With the rapid growth of technology, discarded electronic items such as mobile phones, computers, batteries, and accessories have become a major environmental concern due to the hazardous materials they contain.
A key highlight of the initiative was an educational webinar organized by the Lions Club of Polgasowita, delivered by Dr. Arosha Hemali, Senior Lecturer of the Faculty of Technology at the University of Sri Jayawardenepura and an expert in e-waste management. The session provided valuable technical insights into the lifecycle of electronic products, the risks associated with improper disposal, and modern, sustainable approaches to e-waste handling and recycling.
The program emphasized practical methods of managing e-waste, including proper collection, segregation, and handing over to authorized recyclers.
