E-Waste Export License-MoEF
Another type of waste that is rapidly growing in the world one of the highest rates is electronic waste or e-waste. E-waste consists of discarded electronic components and scrap and since it contains lead mercury and cadmium among its constituent components it poses a great danger to life and the natural world. E-waste exporting is however one of the aspects that focus on the important task of proper e-waste management. In India to control rules and regulations regarding licensing process of e-waste export, the Ministry of Environment Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) in India stands in controlling the export of e-waste.
As earlier discussed many of the countries that import the waste may not have sound environmental laws, and thus the e-waste may be disposed in the environment of these countries in a most appalling means. The MoEFCC has laid down a proper licensing regime to ensure that the e-waste export license - MoEF does not pose the above mentioned risks to the environment to curb the same.

Part B of the above provision to briefly explain when hazardous waste as defined in Part A of Schedule III of the rules may be exported or imported into India contains the following provision – Every person who proposed to export such hazardous waste listed in Part A of Schedule III shall obtain prior informed consent of the exporting country and with permission from MoEFCC.
On the other hand, other wastes included in Part B of Schedule III might be imported or exported by obtaining permission from MoEFCC. Where used electrical and electronic assemblies, spares, parts, and components or E-WASTE which is mentioned in part B of schedule III is imported, the importer needs to get EPR Certification.
Furthermore, the export of all hazardous and other wastes included in part A and part B of schedule VI should obtain approval from MoEFCC. Nevertheless, the importer is not required to seek the ministry’s permission to import other wastes included in Part D of Schedule III.
However, it is pertinent to note that any hazardous waste or any other wastes contained in schedule VI of the act cannot be imported. Besides, the export to and import of hazardous and other wastes which are not provided in Schedule III and which display the hazardous characteristics pointed out in Part C of Schedule III shall not be permitted without prior written consent of MoEFCC.
Obtaining an e-waste export license from the MoEFCC involves a detailed application process. Companies wishing to export e-waste must submit an application form, which includes:
Once the application is submitted, the MoEFCC, in collaboration with other regulatory bodies such as the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), evaluates the application. The assessment focuses on ensuring that the export will not harm the environment or public health in the importing country. Key factors considered include:
If the application meets all the criteria, the MoEFCC issues an e-waste export license, which is valid for a specified period. The license includes conditions that the exporter must adhere to, such as periodic reporting on the status of the e-waste shipment and compliance with all relevant regulations.
