International E-Waste Day is observed every year on October 14 to raise awareness about the growing problem of electronic waste. From smartphones to old chargers, we often throw away electronics without thinking about where they end up.
At GoSharpener, we teach students how e-waste harms the environment and how small actions like repairing, recycling, or donating electronics can help create a circular economy and reduce toxic waste.
GoSharpener Activity
Schools organized “E-Waste Collection Drives” where students brought unused gadgets from home. Some schools set up e-waste bins for regular collection. Others made posters to educate people on how lithium batteries or phones pollute landfills.
Students documented these actions on their Impact Profiles, proving that digital progress can go hand-in-hand with responsible habits.
Why GoSharpener Is Different
While most awareness days end with a speech, GoSharpener encourages tangible student-led action. Our platform turns classroom learning into measurable behavior, tracked via our E-Waste Score Tools under each student’s Impact Profile.
GoSharpener is a platform creating India’s Top-Rated Personal Sustainability Score for Gen Z. Just like an academic score reflects marks in subjects and a credit score reflects financial health, the SustainabilityScore reflects eco-conscious behavior.
