India, the world’s third-largest producer of e-waste, generated over 3.2 million metric tonnes in 2023 alone. As digital transformation accelerates, so does the pile-up of electronic waste—from smartphones and laptops to printers and cables. But where is all this waste going?

The Reality of India’s E-Waste Problem

• Only 22% of e-waste is formally collected and recycled.
• Informal recyclers often use hazardous methods, harming people and the environment.
• E-waste contains toxic substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium that pollute land and water.

Consequences of Inaction
Unregulated e-waste disposal can lead to severe health issues, environmental degradation, and legal penalties for non-compliant businesses.
