As the world becomes increasingly digital, the volume of electronic waste, or e-waste, continues to grow at an alarming rate. In a country like India, with its booming technology sector and large population, the challenges associated with e-waste management are even more pronounced. This article delves into the key challenges that India faces in effectively managing e-waste and highlights the importance of addressing these issues for a sustainable future.

One of the primary challenges in e-waste management in India is the lack of awareness among the general population regarding the hazards of improper disposal. Many people are unaware of the toxic components present in electronic devices and the environmental and health risks associated with e-waste. Educating the public about responsible e-waste disposal is crucial to encourage proper recycling practices.
