EPR practices combine environmental and socio-economic factors. It helps to prevent waste at the source by ensuring environmentally sound management of waste. Moreover, it brings down the economic burden on the government to handle disposal, by transferring it to the manufacturers. Thus, these producers must take both physical and financial responsibility. Manufacturers may find it daunting to develop the right EPR strategy. Hence, they choose to outsource EPR services.

Our Process
Secure E-Waste Collection
We collect the e-waste at your source. You can drop your e-waste pickup request. On receiving your request, we will pick up the discarded electronics from your site and bring them to our recycling plant.
Segregation, Filtering & Shredding
Once the stuff arrives at our recycling facility, we filter through it. Shredding of e-waste helps us to separate plastics from metals to obtain clean commodities. Further shredding renders it into smaller pieces.
Dust and Pollution Control
The small pieces are smoothly spread on the conveyor belt. At this point, the dust is extracted from these substances. It helps ensure that it is thoroughly clean and ready for recycling.
Magnetic Material Separation
While on the conveyor, a powerful magnet is placed overhead. It helps to separate steel and iron from the waste stream. We also conduct additional mechanical processing when required.
Recycling and Authorized Resale
We then collect the separated streams. The recycled materials are prepared for sale as raw materials for further use. You can choose to resell it to produce new electronics or any other items.
