With the increasing amounts of e-waste, 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. Within the OECD the trend is towards the extension of EPR to new products, product groups, and waste streams such as electrical appliances and electronics.
According to E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 an e-waste means electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair processes.
According to E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 Extended Producer Responsibility’ means the responsibility of any producer of electrical or electronic equipment, for channelization of e-waste to ensure environmentally sound management of such waste.

Every producer, manufacturer, refurbisher, dismantler or recycler of electrical and electronic equipment has to obtain a registration from the State Pollution Control Board or the Pollution Control Committee of the Union Territory concerned.
The E-Waste rules apply to every manufacturer, producer, consumer, bulk consumer, collection centres, dealers, e-retailer, refurbisher, dismantler and recycler involved in manufacture, sale, transfer, purchase, collection, storage and processing of e-waste or electrical and electronic equipment listed in Schedule I, including their components, consumables, parts and spares which make the product operational but shall not apply to –
