Bangalore The Manufacturers’ Association for Information Technology (MAIT) has urged the Union ministry of environment & forests to address the hindrances faced in the successful implementation of e-waste management rules calling for simplification of the existing regulations.
Some of the issues which have been raised by MAIT relate to multiple reporting authorities. The rules mention obtaining an authorisation from the concerned State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or PCC (Pollution Control Committee), however, the producers are now forced to take authorisation from multiple states, thus, adding to duplicity in data compilation, MAIT said on Monday. For the companies and SPCBs, this only adds to the administrative burden without adding any value addition.
