India is poised to be an economic superpower by 2030. Having displaced Japan recently, it is now the 3rd largest economy in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). By 2020, 30% of India’s population is expected to be in the age group of 25-44 years. This young and earning age profile of the burgeoning Indian population offers huge potential for electronic goods. Further, this has significant economic and social impact as the rapidly increasing consumption and end-of-life rates of electronic products are leading to higher generation of e-waste. In this context, the need for e-waste management cannot be overemphasized.
