through R&D collaborations, we develop circular solutions for difficult-to-recycle fractions and enable the recovery of critical raw materials (CRMs), rare earth elements, and precious metals from e-waste.

E-Waste Rules in India have pioneered the concept of EPR. With collective expertise of global brands and in-depth knowledge of the Indian waste ecosystem, Karo Sambhav created a unique platform that fosters good governance in the sector.
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 Silex World Ltd.
PermMag-DiSARE aims to build scalable, environmentally sound systems for rare earth elements recovery from extracted magnet recovery through advance recycling technologies.

In tandem with E-waste, batteries are expected to be a fast-growing waste stream. While the legislation is expected to mirror the E-Waste Rules, this sector is being given an increased focus due to its strategic role in facilitating India’s transition to clean energy systems.
So far, India has not been able to sufficiently leverage responsible recycling of batteries for lead production due to the existing informal systems. The Indian Battery Manufacturers Association approached Karo Sambhav with an ambition to design and pilot an EPR framework that is sustainable in the Indian context.
