EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility. It is a policy that requires producers to take responsibility for the environmental impact of their products, even after they have been sold. This includes the collection and recycling of e-waste, such as modems.
In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for implementing EPR for modems. To obtain EPR authorization, manufacturers and importers must meet certain requirements, such as:
Once a manufacturer or importer has obtained EPR authorization, they are responsible for collecting and recycling e-waste from their products. They can do this by setting up their own collection and recycling system, or by working with a third-party recycler.
EPR is an important environmental policy that helps to reduce the amount of e-waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators. It also helps to protect human health and the environment by ensuring that e-waste is recycled in an environmentally sound manner.
