The E-Waste Management Rules, 2022, along with subsequent amendments, establish a comprehensive framework for the environmentally responsible management of electronic waste. Emphasizing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the rules mandate producers, manufacturer, recycler and refurbisher to ensure proper collection, recycling, and disposal of e-waste through authorized recyclers. The regulations promote a circular economy by encouraging material recovery, restricting landfill disposal, and prohibiting incineration, ensuring sustainable and compliant e-waste management.
The objective of this rule is regulated and streamline the environmentally sound management of e-waste in India. Here are the key compliance aspects:
