Over-all Objectives of E-Waste Rules
• Minimize illegal recycling / recovery operations• Environmentally Safe Recycling by channelizing E-waste
through registered E-waste recyclers• Set up Responsibilities Producer / Bulk Consumer /
Urban Local Bodies / consumers• Create a E-waste collection system• Extended Responsibility to producers to manage a
system of E-waste collection and routing to a registeredrecycling facility.
• Reduce Hazardous substances in Electrical andElectronic components

Issues in Management of E-Waste
• Minimize illegal recycling / recovery operations• Producers fail to implement Channelization of E-waste
to registered recycling facilities as part of theirExtended Responsibility
• High value is paid for E-Waste by illegal recyclers• Non effective implementation of Take-back system by
Producers.• Effective implementation of ROHS is required to check
non-complying electronic equipment.

Issues in Management of E-Waste
• Authorization of EPRs from multiple SPCBs- Pan IndiaAuthorization
• Financing mechanism -not elaborated neither binding• MSMEs Exempted• Collection centres -not part of EPR Authorization• No regulation for Bulk Consumers• Separate Authorization & Registration• Ineffective provisions for dismantling and recycling –
illegal operations• Registered Recyclers and Dismantlers not getting e-
waste• Lack of capacity building and awareness initiatives by
Producers.

Roadmap for effective E-Waste Management
• Setting Targets for Producers• Pan India authorization of Producers• Compulsory for Producers to set-up collection
centres• Introduce Producer’s Responsible Organizations• PCB’s recycling facility• Fix responsibilities to refurbishers, bulk
consumers & dealers
