At present, there are sectoral interventions like that by the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY). Though important, the lack of an overarching policy makes cross-sectoral collaborations and systemic efficiencies difficult, minimising benefits that can accrue from an economy-wide approach. A national policy that allows for sectoral peculiarities will help ensure primary resource consumption is at sustainable levels, create higher value with less material through circular approaches and minimise waste.
