Setting up an E-Waste Recycling Plant in accordance with the E-Waste Management Rules 2022 is a crucial step towards effective management of electronic waste and promoting sustainable practices. These rules, formulated by the Central Government, aim to regulate the generation, collection, storage, transportation, processing, and disposal of e-waste.

The establishment of an E-Waste Recycling Plant requires adherence to the following guidelines:

Obtaining Authorization: The plant operator must obtain necessary authorizations and permits from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committee (PCC) as mandated by the E-Waste Management Rules. This includes obtaining a valid Consent to Establish (CTE) , Consent to Operate (CTO) AND E-WASTE  AUTHORIZATION from the regulatory authorities.

Infrastructure and Facilities: The recycling plant should have appropriate infrastructure and facilities to ensure safe and environmentally friendly recycling processes. This includes dedicated areas for storage, segregation, dismantling, and processing of e-waste. Adequate measures should be taken to prevent pollution, handle hazardous substances, and manage emissions, effluents, and waste generated during the recycling operations.

Collection Mechanism: The plant should have a well-defined collection mechanism to ensure the proper collection and segregation of e-waste. Collaborating with authorized collectors, producers, or any registered organization involved in e-waste management can facilitate the collection process.

Technological Capabilities: The plant should be equipped with suitable technologies and machinery to handle various types of e-waste. This includes shredders, separators, smelters, and other specialized equipment required for safe and efficient recycling processes. The technology used should comply with the guidelines prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for environmentally sound recycling practices.

Compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Standards: The plant must ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. Compliance with occupational health and safety standards, including the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE), training on handling hazardous substances, and maintaining a safe working environment, is essential.

Record-keeping and Reporting: The plant should maintain proper records of the quantity and type of e-waste received, processed, and dispatched. Regular reporting to the SPCB or PCC regarding e-waste management activities, including the quantity of e-waste handled and the mode of disposal, is mandatory.

Environmental Management Plan: The plant should develop and implement an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to address potential environmental impacts. The EMP should outline measures to minimize pollution, monitor air and water quality, manage solid and hazardous waste, and ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations.

Potential of E-waste Recycling and Refurbishing in India:

Because India is lacking in valuable mineral resources and untreated e-waste ends up in landfills there is a need for a well-designed, controlled e-waste recovery framework that creates employment as well as income.

Computer displays, motherboards, mobile phones and chargers, compact discs, headphones, televisions sets, air conditions, and refrigerator are examples of electronic garbage (e-waste). According to the India E-waste Monitor 2017, India creates around 10.74 lacs MT of e-waste and annually 31% increasing every year, ranking fifth among e-waste generating countries behind the united states, China, Japan and German.

There are already 500 registered e-waste recyclers in India, who have been approved state governments to handle e-waste. However, many of India’s e-waste recyclers do not recycle garbage at all. According to a Union Environment Ministry assessment, some are keeping it in hazardous circumstances, while others cannot even handle such garbage.

Initiatives to raise awareness about e-waste management

Since 2015, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) has collaborated with industry associations to launch an e-waste awareness program under Digital India to educate the public about the dangers of unorganized e-waste recycling and to raise awareness about alternative recycling methods.

Criteria for Establishing the E-waste Recycling Unit:

According to the E-discarded (Management) Rules 2016, a recycler is someone who recyclers, reprocess, or recovers waste electrical and electronic equipment, assemblies or components.

1.    An E-waste recycling facility should install adequate wastewater treatment equipment for wastewater treatment and air pollution control equipment, depending on the kind of activities taking place in the recycling plant.

2.       A suitable location for dismantling equipment must be provide where manual dismantling can take place.

3.       A recycling facility with a daily capacity of 5 tons per day must have minimum size 500 square meter.

4.       If recycling facility has a capacity of 20 MT per and an area about 2000 square meter, it will be given precedence.
