Our Process
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.
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 Removal
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 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 or Reselling
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.
EPR Certificate
Once we are through with the process, we provide you with an EPR certificate. It will help you in achieving your EPR target. It depicts the fulfillment of your responsibility to manage the product well at the end of its lifecycle.
2016 E-Waste Management Regulations
