International Scenario
50 to 80% E-wastes collected are exported for recycling by U.S. Export is legal in U.S. Export is due to cheaper labour and laxed standard in poor countries. E-waste recycling and disposal in China, India and Pakistan are highly polluting. China has banned import of E-waste. Lack of responsibility on the part of Federal Government and Electronics Industry, Consumers, recyclers and local governments t owards viable and sustainable options for disposal of E-wastes.

Facilitation for creation of common infrastructure based on public-privatepartnership with regulatory support is required for management of e waste in an environmentally sound manner. Let this be considered as one of the recommendations from this National Conference, New Delhi , December 12, 2008

Major Findings
1. Current E-waste generation doubles by 2015 in MMR (25,000 t to >50,000 t) 2. Current E-waste generation triples by 2015 in Maharashtra (49,458 t to > 1,77, 217 t)
3. Increase in environment related E-waste issues both at MMR and State level
4. Lack of E-waste related environmental infrastructure in formal sector in the state 5. Loss of recoverable resources at MMR and state level

Regulatory System
India:
International:
Fee based Extended Producer Responsibility model Tax based/ Fee based Hazardous waste management rules
In India no E-waste collection and transportation system is in place and there are six registered E-waste recyclers. However 60% E-waste is generated from business/ commercial sector

Technical Intervention
Restriction for use of toxic material Use of environmentally friendly material Development of criteria for recovery and disposal Design and engineering interventions
Financial Intervention
