E-Waste Management in India
E-waste management in India has evolved with the notification of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, effective from April 1, 2023. These rules aim to digitize the e-waste management process, providing transparency and incorporating a stricter regime for handling e-waste. They restrict hazardous substances in electronic equipment, expand the scope of covered electronic goods, and introduce Extended Producer Responsibility certificates, akin to carbon credits, for offsetting e-waste responsibility. The rules mandate producers to collect and recycle a significant percentage of their e-waste, promoting environmental sustainability and responsible e-waste disposal.
