LAW ON E-WASTE MANAGEMENT IN PIPELINE

With stockpiling e-waste setting alarm bells ringing the Ministry of Environment and Forests is in the process of finalising norms for management of discarded computers, electronics, mobile phones, washing machines and various other white goods.

Addressing the 15th meeting of Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Thursday, Union Minister of State for Environment and Forest Namo Narain Meena said here on Thursday an innovative scheme is being launched by the Ministry in close collaboration with industries for implementing the Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection (CREP) to involve polluting industries in promoting waste minimisation technologies and for adoption of cleaner technologies.
