E- Waste Management Rules
The E-Waste Management Rules in India, updated in 2022, aim to improve e-waste handling by digitizing processes for transparency. They restrict hazardous substances in electronics, expanding goods coverage and setting recycling targets for producers: 60% by 2023, with increases in subsequent years. Producers must report their recycling efforts online, and the rules introduce Extended Producer Responsibility certificates, allowing third-party e-waste management. Non-compliant companies face environmental compensation, and state governments are tasked with supporting e-waste dismantling and recycling facilities
