The Rules
E-waste Management
The 2016 rules were based on the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility and set clear targets for producers to fulfill their obligations.
It is in these rules that provisions for a Producer Responsibility Organisation were first made. Following another amendment in March 2018, PROs are now also required to get an authorisation from CPCB.
Our professionals provide a range of recycling and e-waste services of the highest standards.
To tackle the issue of severe health and environmental impacts resulting from manual recycling operations, India came out with the E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011. An amendment to these rules resulted in E-waste (Management) Rules in 2016.
