Hazardous Waste with special reference to E Waste Management A Critical Analysis of the Regulatory Framework

Abstract

One of the measures to address the huge generation of waste in India is to introduce newlinemore stringent regulations. With rapid change in technology and the lifestyle of the masses, newlinenot only the volume but the characteristics of wastes have also been altered. The issues newlinepertaining to waste management in India has not been comprehensively addressed and newlineimplementation of these regulations is inadequate. The country needs a more systematic newlineregulatory framework that integrates the need to reduce and prevent waste generation. newlineAlthough the rules and regulations governing the varied kinds of waste like electronic, newlineplastic, agricultural, biomedical, etc. are in place but still the problem remains as such and the newlineimproper electronic waste management continues to take a toll on the health of the planet and newlinehumans. Against this backdrop, the present thesis aims to provide an indication related to the newlinerules and regulations governing the waste management in the country along with analysing newlinethe past court interventions. A critical analysis of the current guidelines, policies and rules newlinehas been made in the thesis to charter the future course of action in addressing waste newlinemanagement through legal interventions. The current study is based on both the primary and newlinesecondary research on reports, publications, policy documents, etc. to have an in-depth newlineknowledge on the waste management regulations. The study infers that India is pioneer in newlineframing legislation on Waste Management but the laxity in implementation is hindrance in newlineaddressing the concerns of improper waste disposal. newline
