Good dings for technology infra companies is expected to flow from the current fiscal. Those, who had seized the Digital India opportunity wave with their swi moves stand to gain. As the findings of the Voice&Data annual Telecom Industry market survey, published in this issue of the magazine, indicates - infra deployments by the telecoms and robust acvity in user devices market pulled the industry to a 3 percent year-on-year growth, clocking `523,369 crore in FY 2016-17. Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as the next trillion-dollar sector in India. While the technology community is busy powering billions of sensors, and ensuring cyber security to enable dividends of digital economy to all, there is an equally serious issue of e-waste that is not geng its due aenon. A recent finding from the joint study by industry associaon ASSOCHAM and research agency KPMG has established that India is already the fih largest producer of e-waste in the world and recycles less than two per cent of the total e-waste it produces, annually. In 2016, India discarded approximately 18 lakh metric tonnes of e-waste, which is about 12 per cent of the global e-waste producon. By 2020, India’s e-waste from old mobiles and computers will rise to a staggering 1,800 per cent and 500 per cent respecvely, as compared to the levels in the year 2007. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change had rolled out the E-waste (Management) Rules in 2016 in order to reduce e-waste producon and increase recycling. Under these rules, an Extended Producer’s Responsibility (EPR) is mandated which makes producers liable to collect 30-70 per cent of the e-waste they produce, over a period of 7 years. Apparently, the industry is unable to cope with these targets as e-waste collecon in India is largely managed by the unorganized sector. And mechanisms to ensure compliance are sll a work-in-progress. In the face of rising consumpon of mobile phones and electronics along with an expected uptake in the IoT-enabled manufacturing, the shi to Industry 4.0 is set to be e-waste heavy. This makes it all the more important that the government looks at collaborang on its mandates with the industry more closely. Equally important is the industry self regulang itself and drawing out standard operang procedures in the light of this gargantuan e-waste issue. Public-Private Partnerships is the way to go. Innovaon in technology, process and handling is urgently required in the area.
