One tonne of scrap from discarded computers contains more gold than can be produced from 17 tonne of gold ore. Mumbai alone throws away 19,00 tonne of electronic waste a year, excluding the large e-waste imports from developed nations through its port.
The projected growth for the e-waste generation for India is about 34% year on year.
India already has a few small scale regional recycling programs-’Eparisara’ and’Trishyiraya’ are two such outfits.
