Abstract

Electronic Wastes or e-wastes are now becoming a serious environmental problem for the world especially for developing countries if not managed properly. Reverse supply chain which is the process of removing new or used products from their initial point in a supply chain, plays an important role to control e-waste. This study explored the role of reverse supply chain as a new environmental issue in context of E-Waste Management Rules, 2016 and gave an outline of activities from take-back to awareness program adopted by MNCs as a part of Extended Producer Responsibility to tackle cellular phone generated e-waste in India.
