E-Waste Management

Government of India will soon implement for e-waste management, they are planning to send a notice to all electronic manufacturing companies to collect the e-waste by putting up collection centre in certain places and reuse the waste product. The manufacturing companies should collect and reuse the product. E-waste includes computers, laptops, TV, refrigerator, washing machine, mixer and grinder, music systems etc. this would be the best E-waste management step taken by the government. should be implemented soon as possible.

Comment by Prof. L. Ramakrishnan on August 29, 2011 at 8:55am: Dear Keerthi,

Where did you get this information ? The GOI has already gazetted the E-Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 2011 on 12 May 2011 (http://www.moef.nic.in/legis/hsm.htm). All generators of e-waste are covered by this rule and this rule will become effective 1 May 2012. If you have some other source of information please clarify; otherwise it will confuse the general public and those stakeholders affected by the Rules.

With kind regards,

Ramakrishnan
