E-Waste Management Behaviour Of Bulk Consumers: A Study In Tamil Nadu

Abstract

Bulk Consumer means a consumer such as the Departments of Central Government like Railways, Defense, Telecom, Posts and Telegraph, the Department of State Government, the Undertakings, Boards and other agencies or companies who purchase hundred or more than hundred E & EE per annum. Being a bulk consumer of E & EE, they have to discharge certain duties and responsibilities viz., maintaining records of e-wastes generated and filing of annual returns as per the e-WM Rules to ensure e-WM in the country effectively and hence it is a felt need to conduct an empirical study on e-WM behaviour of bulk consumers and the present paper is an outcome of one such modest attempt to elicit the e-WM behaviour of bulk consumers of E & EE with special reference to Tamil Nadu.
