Abstract: “E-Waste is a popular name for electronic products nearing the end of their “useful life”. There is a urgent need for improvement in e-waste management .India is expected to be one of the largest consumer electronic markets in the world in the coming years. By 2012, the country is expected to have 600 million mobile subscribers, 60 million PCs and 143 million TV sets. This will definitely lead to significant amount of e-waste. With regulatory intervention likely, there is an opportunity for the emergence and growth of organized players in e-waste management. Proper e-waste management –from efficient sourcing and collection right up to extraction and disposal of materials –has ensured that this huge pile of junk turns into a lucrative business opportunity.
