IBPS CLERK (PSP-2011)

The e-Waste (Management and Handling) rules 2011, notified by the Ministry Of Environment and
Forests, have the potential to turn a growing problem into a developmental opportunity. With
almost half a year to go before the rules take effect, there is enough time to create the necessary
infrastructure for collection, dismantling and recycling of electronic waste. The focus must be on
sincere and efficient implementation. Only decisive action can reduce the pollution and health
costs associated with india's hazardous waste recycling industry. If India can achieve a wages
and working conditions for tens of thousands. The legacy response of the states to even the
basic law on urban waste, the muncipal solid wastes (Management and Handling) rules, has
been one of indifference; many cities continue to simply burn the garbage or dump it in lakes.
with the emphasis now on segregation of waste at source and recovery of materials, it should
be feasible implement both sets of rules efficiently. A welcome feature of the new e-waste rules
is the emphasis on extended producer responsibility. In other words, Producers must take
responsibility for the disposal of end-of-life Products. For this provision to work, they must ensure
that consumers who sell scrap get some form of financial incentive.
The e-waste rules, which derive from those pertaining to hazardous waste, are scheduled to
come into force on May 1, 2012. Sound as they are, the task of scientifically disposing a few
hundred thousand tonnes of trash electronics annually depends heavily on a system of over sight
by State Pollution Control Boards (PCBs). Unfortunaely, most PCBs remain unaccountable and
often lack the resources for active enforcement. It must be pointed out that, although agencies
handling e-waste must obtain environment clearances and be authorised and registered by the
PCBs even under the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement)
Rules 2008, there has been little practical impact. Over 95 per cent of electronic waste is
collected and recycled by the informal sector. The way forward is for the PCBs to be made
accountable for enforcement of the.e-wasteorgrules and levy of penalties under environmental
laws. Clearly, the first-order priority is to create a system that will absorb the 80,000 - strong
workforce in the informal sector into the proposed scheme for scientific recycling. Facilities must
be created to upgrade the skills of these workers through training and their occupational health
must be ensured.
Recycling of e-waste is one of the biggest challenges today. In such a time, when globalization
and information technology are gowing at a pace which could only be imagined a few years
back, e-waste and its hazards have become more prominent over a period of time and should
be given immediate attention.
