The first formal recycling unit has been set up in Bangalore as a part of this initiative and many other cities across the country are in the process of emulating this system. ‘‘After Bangalore, Delhi is the next city which needs a formalised e-waste management. Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata are the others,’’ says Bineesha.
While Europe has the best legislations in e-waste management and the US has none, it is China that has laws India could borrow a lot from, say officials.
