Summary: Here's the cleaned-up and justified text, along with three Library of Congress Subject Headings: This study examines the actions and opinions of individuals with low income in India regarding their involvement in the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system, specifically in relation to electronic garbage (e-waste). The research investigates the perceptions of individuals regarding their obligations within the EPR framework, the congruence between their attitudes and behaviors, and the influence of their actions on the efficacy of the EPR system. This is done through qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. The results indicate a discrepancy between people's knowledge of appropriate methods for disposing of electronic waste and their actual actions. Many individuals hold onto old gadgets because they are worried about their privacy or because they are not well-informed about suitable disposal techniques. The disconnection between these factors presents difficulties for the effectiveness of the EPR system, emphasizing the necessity for enhanced public consciousness and improved infrastructure for e-waste disposal in India. "The behaviours and attitudes of individuals lying on the lower end of the economic spectrum wrt their role in the EPR ecosystem with special focus on electronic waste; an exploratory study" In recent years, India has encountered increasing hurdles in managing its rising garbage crisis, which has been fueled by rapid urbanization, economic expansion, and shifting consumer patterns. The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) paradigm has developed as a critical strategy for addressing these difficulties, shifting the focus away from traditional waste management systems and toward a more integrated and responsible system. EPR stresses the producer's responsibility in the full product lifecycle, from design to disposal, with the goal of reducing environmental effect and promoting sustainable practices
