Abstract
The E-Waste Management Rules implemented in 2016 introduce significant changes to address the burgeoning issued 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, refurbishes, and Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), fostering a collaborative and comprehensive approach to e-waste management. 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.
