'R2 Code of Practices' constitutes a tool available for promoting the adoption of
A
environmentally responsible practices in electronics recycling industry
Correct Answer
B
ecological management of 'Wetlands of International Importance' under the Ramsar Convention
C
sustainable practices in the cultivation of agricultural crops in degraded lands
D
'Environmental Impact Assessment' in the exploitation of natural resources
Explanation
The R2 (Responsible Recycling) Code of Practices is a premier global standard specifically designed to ensure that electronics are recycled in an environmentally, socially, and legally responsible manner. While Option (d) is a tempting distractor because Environmental Impact Assessment is a fundamental environmental tool, it is a broad regulatory process for various developmental projects, whereas R2 is a niche certification focused exclusively on the e-waste management value chain. The core concept being tested is the identification of international standards and voluntary certifications governing sustainable waste management.
