Extended producer responsibility e waste – UGC NET Question

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requires manufacturers to take back or ensure proper collection and recycling of their products after use. Electronics are a common target because they contain hazardous as well as valuable materials. The stem mentions post consumer products requiring end of life management,which matches electronic waste. Therefore Option B is the correct answer.

Option A:
Fresh vegetables are perishable goods whose waste is usually biodegradable and handled through normal organic waste systems. They are not the primary focus of EPR frameworks,so Option A is not suitable.

Option B:
Electronic waste includes discarded computers,phones and appliances whose safe disposal and recycling need organised systems. EPR shifts some responsibility for these systems to producers,matching the concept in the question.

Option C:
Groundwater resources require regulation but are not “products” returned to producers. EPR is product oriented,so Option C does not fit.

Option D:
Open spaces are environmental amenities,not items manufactured and sold by producers. They are not managed through EPR policies,so Option D is incorrect.
