<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary\nMovement of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal was implemented in the year\n1989 after being ratified by 173 nations as one of the most inclusive\ninternational environmental agreements regulating and managing the movements of\nhazardous wastes, which also includes Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment\n(WEEE), between different states\/nations, and most importantly to check that hazardous\ne-waste is not transported from more developed like the USA to less developed\ncountries like India. It has prescribed specific responsibilities on the states\/countries\nthat have ratified the Basel convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore to domestically ratify the policies of the Basel\nConvention, India and MoEF (the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate\nChange) implemented the E-Waste Management Rules, 2016, in place of the E-waste\n(Management &amp; Handling) Rules, 2011. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under these rules, Schedule I includes over 21 products that\nare regulated as E-Waste. It comprised other mercury-containing lamps and\nCompact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL), along with other such Electrical and Electronic\nequipment. Under these rules, for the first time, the policy of Extended\nProducer Responsibility (EPR) was introduced in India to levy responsibility on\nthe producers. Producers have been made accountable for the management of\nE-waste and its end-of-life process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under these rules, producers can also employ the Producer\nResponsibility Organisation (PRO) to delegate their EPR and make sure the\ncollection of E-waste, along with its dumping, in an environmentally sustainable\nmanner. The Deposit Refund Scheme has also been implemented as an added\neconomic instrument wherein the manufacturers\/producer charges an extra amount\nas a bond at the time of transaction of the EEE (electrical and electronic\nequipment) and return it back to the customer along with interest when they\nreturn the end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment. The role of Central\nauthorities\/State Governments has been also implemented to safeguard the health,\nsafety and skill development of the labours involved in recycling operations\nand dismantling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A stipulation related to penalty\/environmental compensation\nfor violation of rules has also been implemented. ULB\u2019s (Municipal Committee\/Council\/Corporation)\nhas been given the duty to channel and collect the discarded Electrical and\nElectronic products to authorised recyclers or dismantlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allocation of appropriate space to prevailing and impending\nindustrial units for e-waste recycling and dismantling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"E-Waste_Recycling\"><\/span>E-Waste Recycling <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>E-Waste recycling is the process of reprocessing or re-using\nthe WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment); this process is done to\nrecover material from the waste and ultimately use them in new EEE (Electric\nand electronic equipment). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of E-Waste recycling includes: &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The process of collecting and transporting the\nwaste <\/li><li>Followed by Sorting and Shredding the WEEE <\/li><li>Dust Extraction <\/li><li>Magnetic Extraction <\/li><li>Water Separation <\/li><li>Purification of Waste Stream <\/li><li>At last, preparing recycling material for sale <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first segregation of toxic components initiates combined processing of <strong>WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waste_Electrical_and_Electronic_Equipment_Directive\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup> in a closed space, which is followed by disintegration with a so-called smasher, after which the second sorting step is done, also in an enclosed room for elements now released but which still contain toxic components, which is then followed by separating out iron-material by using a magnetic separator and finally crushing the remaining ultimate material by a shredder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That crushed material will be sorted out from various\nplastics in the first flotation step and following which the second stage of flotation\nprocesses is done, during which they are divided from one another in accord\nwith their density. WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) was sorted\nout in a first flotation process from plastic material since they are much\nheavier than plastic, which settles on the bottom of the screen that implements\na shaking motion. During this recycling process, non-Fe material will be segregated\nfrom the remaining discarded material that cannot be used further in the\nproduction process. Non-Fe material will be treated further in a processing\ninstallation that can segregate non-Fe materials according to their particular\nspecification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining residual material will either be taken to a\nstockpile or thermal disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"E-Waste_Recycling_Technology\"><\/span>E-Waste Recycling Technology <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>E-Waste Recycling Technology plays a vital role, especially\nin the management and disposal of e-waste. About 80% of E-Waste Recycling\ntechnologies first come to the public domain in form of patents. In recent\ntimes, for the e-waste management problem, the Basel Convention, in\ncollaboration with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), implemented\na patenting process related to e-waste recycling technologies. The report\nrevealed that most of the e-waste patents were filed by countries like Germany,\nthe USA and Japan, with China leading the list number of patents among the\ndeveloping countries. At the same time, no research has been done at a domestic\nlevel to estimate the number of patents filed for e-waste recycling technology.\nFrom a technical point of view, e-waste patents can be divided into two\ncomponents: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Material recovery from sources of e-waste-\nmaterials such as plastics and metals, batteries, displays, cables, PCBs,\nlogistics involved in e-waste treatment or recycling, such as magnetic sorting,\nIT-related management of recycling systems and similar items <\/li><li>Methods, apparatus and process involved in\ne-waste treatment.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Majority of a patent that is filed related to E-Waste\nrecycling technology come under the domain of Waste battery or cell recycling,\nPCB recycling, Plastic Recycling, Waste Glass recycling or Chips and other WEEE\n(Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment) recycling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_regulations_in_India\"><\/span>Patent regulations in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic concept of a patent revolves around the idea of\nprotecting a person\u2019s right over his innovation and creation. It is a legal\ndocument granted by the Indian Government or authorities regulated under The\nIndia Patent Act, 1970. The primary objective of the India Patent Act 1970 is\nto encourage new inventions that are useful to manufacturers or have industrial\napplications.
