Greenpeace Demands

  1. Clean Up: Electronics manufacturers must stop using hazardous materials, substituting them with safer alternatives.
  2. Take back- The consumer should not bear the cost of recycling old electronic goods. Companies should assume full life cycle responsibility for their products and, once they reach the end of their life, take their goods back for re-use, safe recycling or disposal.
  3. Policy Framework: The Government of India must enact an IPR (Individual Producer Responsibility) legislation which empowers the electronics industry to manufacture clean products free from hazardous materials, and makes companies responsible for the take back of their products for re-use, safe recycling and disposal
  4. Brands must come forward to support IPR legislation.
