ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

Lack of formal collection system and awareness in citizen is hampering the overall value chain for e-waste management.

Maximum inflow of electrical and electronic waste into the informal value chain reduces the chances of having scientific disposal of this type of waste.

Scattered, less quantity and irregular generation makes it challenging to establish a waste collection system.
