The major impediments in disposing the huge quantity of e-waste generated in India: 1) Lack of dedicated & global e-collection chain: Only 15% e-waste is collected along a nest of the waste, rest all collected by informal sector waste, rest all collected by informal sector waste, rest all u collected by informal workers, using hazardous methods such as open incinerations, of acid leaching. 2) Lack of Infrastructure: At present 8 Central Pollution Control Board CPCB only has total recycling capacity of only 400 tonnes of e-waste which is insufficient for the amount of waste generated in our countries. Limited coverage: E-Waste Management Rules 2016 covered only types of electrical & electronic equipment. More than 100 types are instructed in the amended of 2022. 3) Limited involvement of Urban local bodies: E-waste does not fall in the list of garbage to be collected by muns of parties. Thus there is no mandate for necessary parties, to collect it. NGOs & organizations to collect it must fill the prescribed collection gap.
