Ministry of Environment ne ek unified EPR portal launch kiya hai. Iska aim hai producers, recyclers, aur regulators ke liye compliance ko digitize karna aur India ki recycling infrastructure ko boost karna. Ye ek bada step hai environmental management ke liye.
Par dosto, sab kuch itna smooth nahi lag raha. Experts ko abhi bhi kai purani dikkatein nazar aa rahi hain jo desh ko circular economy ki taraf le jaane mein problem kar rahi hain. Industry groups like Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) toh keh rahe hain ki ek national authority banani chahiye jo sabhi government bodies ke beech coordination aur inefficiencies ko tackle kar sake. Aise mein, e-waste compliance ka current rate kam hona aur bhi badi chinta ki baat hai. Enforcement abhi bhi weak hai, infrastructure kam hai, aur jo informal waste sector desh ka bada hissa hai, usko abhi tak portal mein properly include nahi kiya gaya hai. Dar ye hai ki ye portal sirf purani problems ko digital format mein na le aaye.
Aur bhi kuch risks hain jo is portal ke real impact ko kam kar sakte hain. MRAI ne warn kiya hai ki ek hi tarah ka approach, jo sabhi ke liye same ho, wo recycling markets ko disrupt kar sakta hai, specially non-ferrous metals jaise sectors mein. Aur India ka jo waste management market hai, wo 2031 tak $18 billion ko cross kar sakta hai, jisme regulations aur technology ka bada role hoga. Lekin, is circular economy ka fayda uthane ke liye sirf policies aur digital tools kaafi nahi hain. Ground level par actual implementation aur sabhi participants ko ek saath lana bahut zaroori hai. Portal ka asli success iss baat se judge hoga ki kya ye accountability badhata hai, recycling ko improve karta hai, aur sabko ek national waste management plan mein jodta hai.
