Some words/phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. 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 cost associated with India's hazardous water recycling industry. If India can achieve a transformation, it will be creating a whole new employment sector that provides good wages and working conditions for tens of thousands. The legacy response of the States to even the basic law of urban waste, the Municipal 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 to 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 product. For this provision to work, they must ensure that consumers who sell scrap get some form of financial incentive.The e-waster 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 oversight by State Pollution Control Boards (PCBs). Unfortunately, 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 environmental 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-waste rules , and the 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 growing at a pace which could only be imagined few years back, e-waste and its hazards have become more important over a period of time and should be given immediate attention. 11.
