The objective of the study is to assess the public's understanding of managing e-waste domestically and their familiarity with the Extended Producer Responsibility concept after the introduction of the E-waste Management and Handling Rules in India. Given that mobile phones are among the significant contributors to electronic waste in India, the study focuses on this device in particular to meet its objective. The purpose of this research case is to educate both producers and the public given the current mismatch between e-waste generation and collection, and the urgent need for action to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. This case can shed light on how the Government needs to keep a regular check on the implementation of various rules and regulations. It tries to imply as to how the proper compliance to the different policies is more important than merely mandating them. This study examines the extent and implications of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in relation to the e-waste management in India through questionnaires, interviews and secondary data sources like Central and State Government websites, research papers and articles from databases. The result highlights the need for authorities to raise awareness and address the serious nature of the problem among the general public.
