Introduction:

Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted, non-working or obsolete, and have essentially reached the end of their useful life. As per E-waste Rule 2016, the E waste is defined as electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment, and repair processes. E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, copper, gold, silver, plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and recycled instead of being landfilled.

E-waste also contains toxic and hazardous materials including mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, chromium, and chemical flame retardants, which have the potential to leach into our soil and water.

Recycling of E-waste:

The company has tied -up with Hulladek Recycling Pvt Ltd,  an authorised PRO for safe disposal of E-Waste collected from all over India. As a part of agreement, Hulladek Recycling Pvt. Ltd. will collect all our e-waste generated from PAN India and dispose of the same. Our PRO has signed an agreement with Om Logistics Ltd. for their logistics service who will help with the collection and channelization of e-waste pan India. Their collection centres have been mentioned below. The material collected by them will be channelized to our PRO’s recyclers/dismantlers, Eco Birdd Recycling Company Pvt. Ltd., Pegasus Waste Management Pvt Ltd., Green Era Recyclers, Techeco E-Waste Namo LLP, Justdispose Recycling Pvt. Ltd.& Threco Recycling LLP  having a total capacity of 2500 MT per annum for recycling/dismantling. Customers can reach our office, call, or email us. The representatives will explain about the process of disposal and make them aware about the nearest drop point available to drop the e-waste. If any customer wants to handover the material from their doorsteps, we can send our logistics team to collect the items and channelize the same to our e-waste partner plant for final processing.
