## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE

## (SHRI ANIL MADHAV DAVE)

- (a)& (b) Government  has  not  come  across  any  report  of  Centre  for  Science  and Environment (CSE) on Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL). However, as per other  scientific  information  available  and  as  confirmed  by  Central  Pollution Control Board, no hazard to health and environment is likely to be caused if the  end-of-life  CFL  are  handled  scientifically.  Serious  environmental  and health hazards associated with CFL are the outcome of  unscientific dumping, breaking of CFLs to remove plastic and other valuable materials, transportation of broken CFLs, storage of broken CFLs in open areas, draining of the mercury contaminated water by glass recyclers and others.
- (c) Government  has  recently  notified  the  E-Waste  (Management)  Rules,  2016. The norms for manufacturing of CFL and other mercury containing lamps are prescribed in Schedule II of the Rules, 2016.
- (d) There is no report of violation of the norms and related action taken against the persons / companies violating such norms.
- (e) As per the newly notified E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016, CFL and other mercury containing lamps are now part of Schedule I of the rules, which list out  the  categories  of  electrical  electronic  equipment  to  which  rules  are applicable.  Accordingly,  the  Extended  Producer  Responsibility  which  forms the crux of the Rules is now  vested on the producers of CFL  for environmentally  sound  channelization  of  CFL  to  authorized  recycling  or disposal facility.
