Abstract :
The E-Waste Management Rules implemented
in 2016 introduce significant changes to address the
burgeoning issue of electronic waste. Notably, these rules
now encompass Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and
other lamps containing mercury, broadening the scope of
regulated electronic waste.
For the first time, producers are placed under the
umbrella of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR),
along with specified targets. This mandates producers to
take accountability not only for e-waste collection but also
for its safe disposal and exchange.
In addition to producers, the rules involve a range of
stakeholders, including manufacturers, dealers,
refurbishers, and Producer Responsibility Organizations
(PROs), fostering a collaborative and comprehensive
approach to e-waste management.
The regulations specifically address the
environmental impact of Compact Fluorescent Lamps
(CFLs) and other mercury-containing lamps, recognizing
the need for their proper disposal.
Various sectors, including hotels, residential colonies,
bulk producers of consumer goods, ports, railway stations,
airports, and pilgrimage spots, are targeted to ensure
responsible handling and recycling of the solid waste
generated in their facilities.
To enhance transparency and accessibility, a Web-
Based E-Waste Facility Locator platform is introduced.
This platform offers an intuitive user interface for both
users and administrators, streamlining access to essential
information related to e-waste disposal.
Ultimately, these rules aim to not only regulate the
disposal of electronic waste but also foster trust between
device owners and the disposal process. The proposed
platform incentivizes users by providing valuable
information about their e-waste disposal, contributing
positively to environmental sustainability.
