According to the Global E-Waste Monitor 2017, India generates about 2 million tons (MT) of ewaste annually and ranks fifth among e-waste producing countries, after the US, China, Japan and Germany. In 2016-17, India treated only 0.036 MT of its e-waste. E-waste is growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 30 per cent in the country.
Since India is highly deficient in precious mineral resources (whereas untreated e-waste goes to landfill), there is need for a well-designed, robust and regulated e-waste recovery regime which would generate jobs as well as wealth.
The Smart Creative technology lowers energy consumption by up to 80 per cent compared to traditional methods like smelting. It enables the increased conservation of natural resources by extracting significantly higher levels of materials without risk to humans and the planet.
Smart Creative is an important technology for SocialTheta in its quest to achieve zero waste to landfill, and is aligned ith SocialTheta’s vision of providing solutions that cater to the triple bottom line of protecting the environment, benefitting people and achieving prosperity.
Through the synergies between the group companies & technology sharing, we excel in the end-to-end process of Integrated E Waste management.
