- Abstract
Keywords: E-Waste Management; Extended Producer Responsibility; Informal Sector; Producer Responsibility Organizations; Indian E-waste Management Rules/Regulations; Circular Economy; Sustainability; Regulatory Enforcement; Standards for E-waste Management; Technologies and E-waste PRO is an emerging institution within the e-waste ecosystem in the country and Pranshu Singhal, in his capacity as the founder of one of the first PROs in India, draws on his own experience to identify various steps that help PROs play a constructive role in e-waste management in India. Producers and Government of India jointly implement best practices for raising awareness on e-waste recycling obligations for bulk consumers and on e-waste recycling options for households. The E-waste (Handling and Management Rules), 2016 defines a PRO as 'a professional organisation authorised or financed collectively or individually by producers, which can take the responsibility for collection and channelization of e-waste generated from the "end-of-life" of their products to ensure environmentally sound management of such e-waste'.[26] E-Waste Management, Extended Producer Responsibility, Informal Sector, Producer Responsibility Organizations, Indian E-waste Management Rules/Regulations, Circular Economy, Sustainability, Regulatory Enforcement, Standards for E-waste Management, Technologies and E-waste.
