Acknowledgement
I would like to express my gratitude to my guide and teacher Swapnil Suryavanshi
sir who provided me the amazing opportunity to do this wonderful Micro-Project of the
Course title ‘E Waste Management’ (Course code: 22447) on the topic ‘Detailed report
on legal aspects of E-waste Management rule 2016.
Secondly, I want to extend my sincere thanks to our principal as the Head of
the Department of Computer department who have been an invisible spirit and
inspiration to me throughout the process.
Also, I would like to thank every one of my group members who helped me lot to
conclude this micro-project within the limited time frame.

Introduction
footprints’ comprises of items such as computers, mobile phones, digital music
recorders/players, refrigerators, washing machines, televisions (TVs) and many other
household consumer items.

The increasing ‘market penetration’ in the developing countries, ‘replacement

market’ in the developed countries and ‘high obsolescence rate’ make e-waste one of
the fastest waste streams. This new kind of waste is posing a serious challenge in
disposal and recycling to both developed and developing countries. While having some
of the world's most advanced high-tech software and hardware developing facilities,
India's recycling sector can be called medieval. All this has made e-waste management
an issue of environment and health concern.

• About E-Waste: -
 Environment Studies [22447]

Electronic waste or e-waste is the term used to describe old, end-of-life electronic
appliances such as computers, laptops, TVs, DVD players, mobile phones, mp3
players, etc., which have been disposed by their original users.

The electronic and electrical goods are largely classified under three major heads, as:
‘white goods,’ comprising of household appliances like air conditioners, dishwashers,
refrigerators and washing machines; ‘brown goods,’ comprising of TVs, camcorders,
cameras, etc.; ‘grey goods,’ like computers, printers, fax machines, scanners, etc.
The grey goods are comparatively more complex to recycle due to their toxic
composition.

• About E-Waste management Rules 2016

Looking to growing problems of e-waste, the Central Government in the exercise of
the powers provided under Sections 6, 8 and 25 of the Environment (Protection) Act,
1986 has notified these rules. E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 supersede the E-
Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011. It consists of 24 rules divided in
Six Chapters and four Schedules. The rules aims to enables the recovery and/or
reuse of useful material from e-waste, thereby reducing the hazardous wastes
destined for disposal and to ensure the environmentally sound management of all
types of waste of electrical and electronic equipment. These rules shall come into
force from 1stOctober, 2016.

These rules shall apply to every Producer, Consumer and Bulk Consumer,
Manufacturer, collection centers, dealers, e-retailer, refurbisher, dismantler and
recycler involved in the manufacture, sale, purchase and processing of electrical and
electronic equipment, including their components, consumables, parts and spares
which make the product operational but shall not apply to-

a) Used lead acid batteries as covered under the Batteries (Management and
Handling) Rules, 2001 made under the Act;
b) Micro enterprises as defined in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Development Act, 2006 (27 of 2006); and Radio-active wastes as covered under
the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, 1962 (33 of 1962) and Rules made there
under.
Responsibilities of Manufacturer, Producer, Collection Centers, Dealers,
refurbished, Consumer/Bulk Consumer, Dismantler and Recycler:
 Environment Studies [22447]

What are the responsibilities of the manufacturer, producer, collection centers,

dealers, refurbished, consumer/bulk consumer, dismantler and recycler in relation
to e-waste management are the subject-matter of Rules 4 to 12.

a) Responsibilities of Manufacturer:
1) The manufacturer shall be responsible to collect e-waste generated during the
manufacture of any electrical and electronic equipment and channelize it for

2) The manufacturer shall ensure that no damage is caused to the environment

during storage and transportation of e-waste and also file annual returns to the
concerned State Pollution Control Board on or before the 30th day of June.

b)Responsibilities of Producer:
1) The producer shall be responsible for the collection of e-waste generated from
the ‘end of life’ of their products and channelizing it for recycling or disposal.
And to ensure that such e-waste are channelized to registered dismantler or
recycler.

2) The import of electrical and electronic equipment shall be allowed only to

producers having Extended Producer Responsibility-Authorization and also filing
annual returns to the Central Pollution Control Board on or before 30thJune of
following financial year.

3) The producer shall also be responsible for providing contact details such as
address, telephone numbers/helpline numbers to consumer(s) or bulk
consumer(s) so as to facilitate return of used electrical and electronic equipment.

4) Further, the producer shall be responsible to create awareness among

consumers or bulk consumers with regard to hazardous constituents, hazards of
improper handling and improper recycling of e-waste and instructions for handling
the equipment after its use along with do’s and don’ts.

c)Responsibilities of Collection Centers:

1) The collection centers are responsible to collect e-waste on behalf of
producer or dismantler or recycler or refurbished.

2) The collection center shall also ensure that e-waste collected by them is stored
in a secured manner and no damage is caused to the environment during.,
storage and transportation.

3) The collection center shall file annual return to State Pollution Control Board on or

disposal facility.

E-waste recycling plant is suitable for circuit board, copper cladding plate, PCB,
mobile phone board, etc., to recover the nonferrous metal copper, gold, silver,
palladium, platinum and rhodium in the waste circuit board. The whole equipment
separates the copper and resin in the circuit board through physical crushing. At the
same time, the equipment is also equipped with pulse dust removal equipment to
effectively solve the dust generated in the production process. The subsequent use
of high voltage electrostatic sorting machine, make sorting finer and more efficient,

The first breaking machine adopts biaxial shredding type, the second breaking
machine adopts hammer pulverize, and the third breaking machine adopts
high-speed turbine pulverize. Then a process route to separate the metal
from the resin by wind and electrostatic separation. In order to prevent dust
pollution in the process of production, a pulse dust removal device is added after
the wind separation process to effectively solve the problem of dust pollution.
 Environment Studies [22447]
Skill Developed/Conclusion
1) The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified the E-Waste
Management Rules, 2016 in supersession of the E-waste (Management &
Handling) Rules, 2011.

2) For the first time, the rules brought the producers under Extended Producer
Responsibility (EPR), along with targets. Producers have been made responsible
for the collection of E-waste and for its exchange.

3) The role of State Governments has been also introduced to ensure safety, health
and skill development of the workers involved in dismantling and recycling
operations.

4) A provision of penalty for violation of rules has also been introduced.
