A roadmap with scenarios and options for disposing of e-waste in 2023.
Electronic waste (E-waste) is residues deriving from End-of-life electronic products. It is the fastest current flow in today’s world. It is estimated that E-waste’s overall annual production will exceed 50 million tons in 2020, and India has contributed more than 2 million tons. With the rapid growth of the market for consumer electronic products, E-waste management is a growing concern and must be systematically addressed through politics and practice. The first regulation to manage E-waste in India was introduced in 2011 and entered into force in 2012. Since then, the disposal rules have been modified in 2016 and 2018. There were several additional developments in the industry from the introduction of standards.
The Japanese government and the World Bank Group’s South Korean “Green Growth Trust” are working with the International Finance Corporation’s “India e-waste Program” to develop a roadmap for e-waste management 2023. The objectives of the program are (1) Facilitating the establishment and scaling up of a responsible industrial solution for waste management in India, which will serve as a cost-effective solution in the long term (2) Raise awareness of all stakeholders about the hazards of not managing waste responsibly (3) Develop a toolkit to support key stakeholders in the industry and (4) Assess the growth rate, banking capacity, and investment potential of the industry to mobilize investment capital.
This collection of pieces of thought is a precious contribution to the field of E-waste management in India. This reflects the thoughts of different Indian and global experts who have considerable experience of working on these aspects in India and other countries. Experts come from various origins: governments, international organizations, development organizations, civil society organizations, industry, and academics. As part of the program E-waste in India, numerous seminars, meetings, workshops, and events between March 2017 and March 2019 were carried out, which supports the participation and knowledge exchange between, distinguishing stakeholders. This compendium also highlights some of the points that emerged from these multi-stakeholder discussions
These ideas in no way represent the opinions of the IFC. In addition, the opinions of different contributors may differ. We hope that these different perspectives will increase the scope of the e-waste discourse and improve readers’ understanding of the diverse and complex aspects of e-waste management.
