Committee targets meta-study to "systematise" e-scrap data

Describing India as the world's fifth-largest producer of e-waste, BIR E-Scrap Committee member Surendra Patawari Borad explained to the body's latest meeting in Berlin that the government had introduced an extended producer responsibility system for e-waste earlier this year which proposed a 30% collection target for the first two years, rising to 70% after seven years.
