Ewaste

Non-traceability of e-waste is an ongoing issue everywhere.

Japan and Europe teach us that the legislation necessarily needs an implementation framework to accompany prohibited actions which can propel the transition toward a desired state. They will need state-sponsored vigilantism to prevent even a single discarded gadget from getting hammered out in the open or being dumped in a landfill. We will run out of time if we assume that the Moradabad lab, Jolly Mohalla, Ghauripada, Saki Naka, Kurla and Seelampur will circumvent the rule book and make our mountains for e-waste magically dematerialize, as has been the case so far.
