Body
Discuss the issues surrounding e-waste management –
The producers/manufacturers do not have adequate information on their website regarding e waste management.
Customer care representatives do not have inkling about any take back or recycling programme and even if they have set up collection centres, they are simply not enough for a geographically vast country like India.

Improper enforcement of the existing laws is another hurdle.
