Abstract
EPR is a registration through which the Government has given an extended responsibility to the producer to channelize the E-waste generated into the markets. Producers are liable to collect back electronics through buy-back schemes, collection programs and collection centers. Proper channelization is important so that E-waste doesn’t end up into wrong hands and harm the environment.
Producers have to take the responsibility for proper channelization and have to get it recycled from an authorized recycler. General public should also be addressed for proper disposal of E-waste.
