more-inMany of India’s electronic-waste (e-waste) recyclers aren’t recycling waste at all. India now has 178 registered e-waste recyclers, accredited by the State governments to process e-waste. But doing this would require these firms to work with licensed e-waste recyclers and ensure that all e-waste is properly disposed off. The Environment Ministry conducted checks at 11 registered recyclers and one unregistered recycler in May this year. However, the firm does no e-waste recycling and only manually dismantles components, the report notes.
