As per the new E-Waste Management Rules, 2016, it has become mandatory for bulk customers, clients, producers and manufacturers of all electrical and electronic equipment to bide by their EPR. It’s EWRI’s responsibility to collect all the WEEE’s from selective producers or consumers for the naturistic flow of E-Waste and not end up at landfills.

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.

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.
