Karo Sambhav, in collaboration with IIT Roorkee and the Technology Development Board under the Department of Science and Technology (GoI), is part of a pioneering research initiative on the recycling of NdFeB permanent magnets to recover rare earth elements such as Neodymium and Dysprosium.
The project, titled PermMag-DiSARE (Digitalized and Sustainable Approaches for Reusing, Repairing, and Recycling Permanent Magnets from Electronic Waste), is a part of the India–UK Collaborative R&D for Industrial Sustainability 2023.
The UK consortium includes UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), University of Leeds, and SilexWorld Ltd.
Karo Sambhav, in collaboration with IIT Roorkee (IITR), was awarded a research project by the Ministry of Mines (MoM) on 'Recycling of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screens for recovery of Indium and Tin values.'
The initiative focuses on reclaiming critical metals such as Indium and Tin from end-of-life LCD monitors, fostering a circular economy where valuable resources are recovered.
By generating technical knowledge and practical pathways for LCD waste recycling in India, the initiative seeks to reduce dependence on primary mining and strengthen domestic capabilities for critical mineral recovery.
Karo Sambhav, in partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Covestro is leading the implementation of a project focusing on Circular Pathways for High-Value Plastics from E-Waste in India.
Recycling high-value plastics from electronic waste remains an overlooked aspect in existing recycling practices despite immense untapped potential. This project aims to address the challenges by developing integrated solutions, piloting measures, and supporting the paradigm shift towards a circular economy.
Karo Sambhav’s role is to strengthen collection and sorting systems, pilot advanced recycling processes, and enable the integration of recycled plastics back into manufacturing supply chains.
Materials Recovered: Plastic pellets from recycling of end-of-life electronic products like keyboards, monitors, air conditioners etc.
