Newsletter entitle: Market survey of Re-usable e-Products and Recycled e-Components: Market Survey of Reusable and Recycled e-products looks at how e-Waste is a source of raw material which can and should be put back into manufacturing. More so, the life of e-components /equipments can be extended through retrieval and repair. Study was carried out in Bangalore to understand the tracks of the generation of e-Waste, its flow, processes used for retrieval and recycling and its impact on the environment and livelihood.
The report includes findings of the survey carried out with government departments, producers, large bulk waste generators, the retail sector, recyclers and small enterprises involved in supporting repair and refurbishment systems.
Attempts are made to document the flow of e-Waste from generators to the recyclers. As observed from KSPCB records in January 2014, there are 34 authorised recyclers who collectively have a capacity to recycle 37,000 metric tonnes per annum (MT/A)……………………
