The fruits of our high-tech revolution are pure poison if these products are improperly disposed of at the end of their useful life.

The electronics industry is on the brink of a paradigm shift with respect to cost avoidance v/s risk avoidance.

Firms such as Eco-Reco are taking advantage of a booming but hazardous industry, where e-waste is usually dismantled by workers with little protection in recycling plants that have even fewer safety and environmental contamination guidelines.

In Mumbai, Eco-Reco will pick up your e-waste and at their plant, the e-waste then goes through a shredder on a conveyor belt, and the components are separated by a metal extractor. Workers then break up the plastic from the metal by hand. The entire system is based on the principles of clean environment and zero landfill.
