E-Waste Management

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 the E-Waste Rules 2016, 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 land-filled.

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 the 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 are listed below. The material collected by them will be channelized to our PRO’s recyclers / dismantlers — Eco-E Waste Recyclers India Pvt. Ltd., Eco Birdd Recycling Company Pvt. Ltd., Sani Clean Pvt. Ltd., Techeco E-Waste Namo LLP & Green Era Recyclers — having a total capacity of 2400 MT per annum for recycling / dismantling.

Customers can reach our office, call, or email us. The representatives will explain the process of disposal and make them aware of the nearest drop point available to drop the e-waste. If any customer wants to hand over the material from their doorstep, we can send our logistics team to collect the items and channelize the same to our e-waste partner plant for final processing.

Brief on General Schemes of Collection

Buyback

We plan to collect e-waste from bulk consumers, individual consumers and resident associations with the help of the PRO. These individuals and organisations will be intimated through emails about the whole process. We also plan to install collection bins at various residential associations and organisations so that consumers can dispose of the e-waste in such bins at their own convenience over a period of time. They can also call our toll-free number and we will coordinate with them in buying back the materials. We will provide them with an incentive for the materials they dispose of with us.

Exchange and Coupons

Under the special collection scheme, we also plan to issue a 1% Discount Voucher to customers who return EOL (end-of-life) products to us. This exchange facility will be offered to every customer, the discount amount being Rs. 1000 (maximum) depending on the quality of the old product. Customers can redeem this voucher on their future purchases from our company.
