India's E-Waste Crisis: Management and Recycling Reforms Needed

India's E-Waste Crisis: Management and Recycling Reforms Needed

India is making more and more electronic gadgets, like phones and computers, which creates a lot of trash called e-waste.

This waste is harmful for the environment and people's health.

To fix this, India needs to manage its e-waste better.

The government wants companies to take responsibility for the waste from their products and recycle them properly.

They are also setting a minimum price for recycling, which helps to support formal recyclers who use safe methods.

This can turn waste into something useful, protect the environment, and create jobs.
