In 2016, the Centre notified E-waste (Management) Rules and

one of its highlights was the concept of Extended Producer
Responsibility (EPR). It means the manufacturers of electric
and electronic equipment must facilitate their collection and
return it to authorized dismantlers or recyclers.

Designed to divert and reduce waste, EPR closes the loop on
materials management, recovering product waste when the
consumer discards it and reusing it as a raw material to
produce a new product or packaging material.

This makes manufacturer responsible for the entire life cycle of

waste products, including wastereturn and recycling.
EPR was introduced to deal with increasing amount of waste.
