Quick Facts

E-waste Recycling In India

In India, 95% of E-waste is recycled by the informal sector in crude and unfavourable conditions. EPR was introduced to deal with the growing ratios of electronic waste the right way. Karo Sambhav, an authorized Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO), establishes technology-enabled sustainable e-waste disposal. We implement a robust reverse-logistics chain to collect dead electronics from end-consumer and process e-waste via authorized recyclers.

Technology Platform

Grassroot + Expertise + Technology = Impact

Through our inception, Karo Sambhav has utilized technology to complement on-ground operations. By combining our expertise on EPR with technology tools like Microsoft Azure, we identified key processes that can be automated, the insights that can be generated, and the impact that can be measured through the Karo Sambhav App.

Recycling

Close The Loop.

Through its partnership with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), Karo Sambhav has established a model e-waste dismantling unit and a material recovery facility.

The goal?

To determine benchmarks for legitimate operations and financial sustainability of such units, while creating a glasshouse-effect for the sector at large. These units are a critical part of closing material loops by creating end-to-end auditable chains for secondary materials. The project especially caters to the formalization of the informal sector by transitioning them to green jobs, as well as providing multi-material compliance management to bulk consumers.
