Extended manufacturer responsibility (EPR),Help to reduce the E-waste.
Corpseed: electronic waste
is called electronic and electrical product waste. Careful disposal of these
wastes results in environmental and health damage. To prevent environmental
destruction, the Ministry of the Environment, Forests and Climate Change
released the 2016 e-waste disposal rules to regulate e-waste in March 2016.
India is the fifth-largest producer of electronics in the world.
Extended manufacturer responsibility(EPR) is the main feature of electronic waste disposal regulation,
with which manufacturers of electronic and electrical devices are responsible
for the ecological disposal and recycling of old products. , including
electrical and electronic products. Additionally, the extended producer
responsibility is responsible for increasing customer awareness of e-waste
disposal. Besides, the manufacturer's extended liability provides the necessary
support and information regarding the disposal of old products.
Under e-waste disposal rules, manufacturers of electronic
and electrical devices offering products for sale across India must obtain EPR
approval from the Central Pollution Control Board. Another rule for electronic
waste disposal is that manufacturers who market and sell products in a single
state must obtain approval from the state Pollution Control Commission. On the
other hand, recyclers and companies that dismantle electronic waste must
receive approval and registration from the National Pollution Control
Commission for the accumulation of electronic waste. Redesigns of electronic
and electrical products must obtain a single approval from the National
Pollution Control Commission.
The electronic waste consists of a large number of toxic
substances such as cadmium, mercury, and lead, which must be removed, treated
and recycled to protect the ecosystem. 95% of the electrical and electronic
waste generated in India is poorly treated and controlled by the informal
recycling sector, which uses environmentally damaging processes and
inappropriate techniques. Acid scratches, open incineration, and manual dismantling
are some of the crude techniques used by the informal recycling sector, leading
to environmentally damaging processes that pose serious health and safety
risks. 'environment. Furthermore, these informal recycling sectors employ
children and women with such serious health risks. Furthermore, women and
children are underpaid in these sectors. Industry certification programs are
important because industry certification programs require the safe disposal and
recycling of electronic waste.
When cadmium-containing e-waste burns, it releases deadly
gases, leading to lung failure after prolonged exposure. When cadmium comes
into contact with the atmosphere, it also causes cancer in humans and worsens
the health of the soil. The presence of lead in electronic waste, such as LEDs,
televisions, and PC monitors, leads to life-threatening diseases of the nervous
system, kidneys, brain, and the entire reproductive system. Even the natural
functions of the soil and aquatic systems are disrupted by the presence of lead
in the environment. Mercury, on the other hand, is toxic to the environment and
human health. Mercury can be found in products like refrigerators, CFLs, and
televisions. Mercury components are transferred when mercury-containing e-waste
enters the water, landfills, and the local environment. This highly toxic
compound, in combination with organic substances, releases methylmercury, which
has serious effects on health and the environment.
