Faced with increasing amounts of waste, many governments have reviewed available policy options and concluded that placing the responsibility for the post-consumer phase of certain goods on producers could be an option. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers are given a significant responsibility – financial and/or physical – for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. Assigning such responsibility could in principle provide incentives to prevent wastes at the source, promote product design for the environment and support the achievement of public recycling and materials management goals.
EPR has been made official by the CPCB under the E-waste management rule 2016 clearly specifying that a Producer will abide it according to its market share.
At World Scrap Recycling we took on the responsibility to take this challenge over the top priority in channelizing producers E-waste for responsible environment friendly recycling.
