Many issues plague India's current approaches to managing electronic waste. These include inadequate legislation, a lack of public awareness, hazardous informal recycling practices, difficulties in inventorying, and a refusal on the side of corporations to address the core issues. The effects include (i) the introduction of harmful substances into the waste stream without measures to prevent their known negative impacts on human and environmental health, and (ii) the loss of resources due to the disposal of economically valuable materials or the development of unhealthy conditions during informal recycling. The paper examines the related issues and potential solutions to this growing problem, considering the steps implemented in India. This article's goal is to propose a waste management system that would make numerous parties—including customers, importers, recyclers, regulatory agencies, and electronic device manufacturers and assemblers—responsible for collecting and recycling electronic trash.
