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 development 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 costs associated with India's hazardous waste 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 on urban
waste, the Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, has been
one of indifference; many cities continue to simply bum 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 entphasis on extended producer
responsibility. In other words, producers must take responsibility for the
disposal of end-of-life products. For the provision to work, they must ensure
some form of financial incentive.
The e-waste 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 authorized 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 percent 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 of priority is to create a
system that will absorb the 80,000strong 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 prominent over a period of time and should be given immediate
attention.
