Statement-I is accurate because the primary goal of the Battery Waste Management Rules introduced by the Government is indeed to promote a circular economy in managing waste batteries. This involves emphasizing recycling, refurbishing, and reusing materials from batteries to reduce environmental impact.
However, Statement-II is incorrect. The statement refers to the E-Waste (Management) Rules introduced in November 2022, not Battery Waste Management Rules. The E-Waste Rules focus on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in e-waste recycling, not the circular economy in managing waste batteries as mentioned in Statement-I. Hence, Statement-II does not align with the context of the Battery Waste Management Rules described in the initial text.
