Yes, electronic display panels / boards / visual display units (EDPVDUs) are covered under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework in India. This means that manufacturers and importers of EDPVDUs are responsible for collecting and recycling end-of-life EDPVDUs.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is the government agency responsible for regulating e-waste in India. The CPCB has set up a system for EPR for EDPVDUs, which is based on the following principles:
The CPCB has set up a number of collection centers for EDPVDUs across India. Consumers can take their end-of-life EDPVDUs to these collection centers for free. The CPCB also has a number of recycling facilities for EDPVDUs. These recycling facilities are used to recover valuable materials from end-of-life EDPVDUs, such as lead, mercury, and precious metals.
If you are a manufacturer or importer of EDPVDUs in India, you are required to comply with the EPR framework. You can find more information about the EPR framework for EDPVDUs on the CPCB website.
Here are some of the benefits of EPR for EDPVDUs:
