Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach where producers are given significant responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products during their entire lifecycle, especially at the post-consumer stage. In India, this concept was explicitly mandated and elaborated upon in the context of electronic waste management. The e-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules of 2011 were a landmark regulation that established mechanisms for the collection, recycling, and disposal of electronic waste, assigning responsibilities to manufacturers, importers, and brand owners.
