<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Most e-waste ends up in landfills and incinerators, even though 80% of the components in these devices contain materials that can be recycled or reused.
In India, most e-waste ends in informal or unorganised sectors. In addition to local waste, there is also waste imported from industrialized countries.
The Government of India introduced E-waste Management and Handling Rules in 2011. In 2016, it was amended. Consumers now made responsible for proper disposal of e-waste generated by them. The producers are required to ensure collection and recycling of waste.
