“We will launch a series of programmes to address the growing concern over safe disposal of e-waste.”
E-waste management is governed by the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 (in force from April 2023), which mandate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) with an online EPR portal, registration of producers/recyclers and recycling targets, supported by floor pricing for EPR certificates to strengthen formal recycling. Formalisation of e-waste recycling is progressing, though a large share still flows through the informal sector. Partial.
We have started multiple programmes to protect the environment like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Railway Electrification, PM e-Bus, promotion of EVs, Ethanol and Bio-fuel promotion among others. Through these programmes, our citizens will benefit from the opportunity to live in a clean environment.
We will promote recycling programmes across the country. We will institutionalise recycling mandates across sectors to maximise mineral recovery from used products.
We will strengthen Mission LIFE, establishing a comprehensive repository encompassing both traditional and contemporary best practices, and fostering the global adoption of environmentally friendly lifestyles to promote sustainable living across the globe.
