Elisha Lakra, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, Kalinga University, Raipur


ABSTRACT


A new period of development was inaugurated with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. Technology continued to advance, which aided in the advancement of human civilization. However, this advancement also had a detrimental impact that is one of the greatest threats to humanity. This problem, which affects both developed and developing nations, has become one of the most hotly contested issues among environmentalists. As a result of the rapid advancement of technology, the volume of electronic trash is increasing every day. In India, e-waste is just amassing and there are few solutions for the waste it produces. Due to the fact that they damage both the environment and civilization, people must properly dispose of this rubbish. Because they remain active for a very long time, radioactive wastes require special handling. Therefore, waste management is a concern in the majority of rising countries. This article attempts to analyze e-waste, its sustainable management, in the Indian legal system, as well as the judiciary's response to e-waste management. This research's main goal is to examine data on e-waste generation, and its effects, and develop sustainable management strategies that can be helpful in the long run.
