Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, driven by rapid technological advancements, shorter product life cycles, and increasing digital adoption. To address the environmental and public health risks arising from improper disposal of electronic products, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for e-waste was formally introduced in India under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2011, later strengthened through amendments in 2016, 2018, and the revised E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.
The core objective of e-Waste EPR is simple yet transformative:
shift the responsibility of end-of-life management of electronic products from consumers and municipalities to producers.
Over the years, e-Waste EPR has revolutionized how businesses approach product design, compliance, and sustainability by:
Plastic Waste EPR has transformed both business operations and environmental outcomes by:
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC)
MoEFCC is the apex policy-making authority responsible for framing and notifying the E-Waste (Management) Rules. It defines the scope, obligations, targets, and compliance framework for all stakeholders under EPR.
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)
CPCB plays a central role in implementing and monitoring e-Waste EPR across India. Its key responsibilities include:
State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) / Pollution Control Committees (PCCs)
SPCBs and PCCs act as regional enforcement authorities. Their responsibilities include:
Together, MoEFCC, CPCB, and SPCBs create a structured compliance ecosystem ensuring accountability, transparency, and traceability under e-Waste EPR.
