[EPR] Extended Producer Responsibility [E-Waste Management] [Electronics E-Waste] | [EPR Battery Waste Management]                                    The world today is facing a great challenge. In the conditions of the growing global population and income, the demand for different products increases, but after a while the products become a waste. The growing demand for production requires more natural resources which are limited on the earth. Therefore waste recycling and re-use in the production process are of utmost importance.

 

Indian governments and companies have adopted extended producer responsibility to help address the growing problem of E-waste  & Plastic — used electronics contain materials that cannot be safely thrown away with regular household trash. In 2016, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, people threw away 2.5 million tons of Cells, PHones, Batteries ,TVs parts, Electronic parts, computers Parts and Printers etc. Many governments have partnered with corporations in creating the necessary collection and recycling infrastructure. Some argue that local and manufacturer-supported extended producer responsibility laws give manufacturers greater responsibility for the reuse, recycling, and disposal of their own products.

E-Waste Meaning?

India generates more than two million tonnes of E-Waste annually and also imports huge amounts of E-Waste from other countries around the world.

  1. Electronic waste or e-waste is generated when electronic and electrical equipment become unfit for their originally intended use or have crossed the expiry date.
  2. Examples: Computers, servers, mainframes, monitors, compact discs (CDs), printers, scanners, calculators, fax machines, battery cells, cellular phones, TVs, iPods, medical apparatus, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners are examples of e-waste (when unfit for use).
  3. E-waste typically consists of metals, plastics, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), printed circuit boards, cables, and so on.
  4. The presence of toxic substances such as liquid crystal, Battery, lithium, mercury, nickel, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), cadmium, chrome, cobalt, copper, and lead, makes it very hazardous.
E-Waste Management in India
  1. Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change rolled out the E-Waste (Management) Rules in 2016 to reduce e-waste production and increase recycling.
  2. Under these rules, the government introduced EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility), which makes producers liable to collect 30 per cent to 70 per cent (over seven years) of the e-waste they produce.
  3. The government should encourage the new entrepreneurs by providing the necessary financial support and technological guidance.
  4. Establishment of start-ups connected with e-waste recycling and disposal should be encouraged by giving special concessions.

More Information About E-Waste Management In India  In the field of waste management, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a strategy to add all of the Environmental costs associated with a product throughout the product life cycle to the market price of that product. Extended producer responsibility legislation is a driving force behind the adoption of remanufacturing initiatives because it "focuses on the end-of-use treatment of consumer products and has the primary aim to increase the amount and degree of product recovery and to minimize the environmental impact of waste materials. Separate collection targets have been introduced for new producers who have recently begun their sales operations. These would be producers whose sales operations are lesser than the average life of their product. >To undertake the activities prescribed for PROs under these Rules, the PROs shall apply to CPCB for registration. This is a significant and noteworthy amendment as the requirement of PROs to register with CPCB would ensure that CPCB can constantly supervise and keep a check on the activities of PROs.
