E-waste management
E-waste management is about more than disposing of old gadgets — it protects the environment, human health and the valuable materials locked inside electronics. Only about 10% of India's e-waste is processed formally.
~4.1M tonnes/yr India is the world's 3rd-largest e-waste generator
Impact on health & the environment
Hazardous materials and informal open-burning make unmanaged e-waste a serious health, environmental and economic problem.
Human health risk
Lead, mercury and cadmium leach into soil and water, causing neurological damage and kidney failure.
Environmental damage
Open burning and dumping contaminate air, water and soil and release greenhouse gases.
Economic loss
Crude recycling wastes valuable gold, silver and copper that could be recovered.

Proper e-waste handling drives the circular economy, keeps businesses compliant with anti-pollution rules and safeguards data — while recovering critical materials.
