This problem was turned into business opportunities, and many such businesses have flourished around e-waste management after the&nbsp;E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016, made PIBOs responsible for fulfilling their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Such business came in various forms- from collectors to aggregators and dismantlers to recyclers. E-waste businesses in megacities like Delhi have grown significantly over the past few years. This network ranges from small e-waste scrap collectors, dealers and refurbishers to big PROs. As per <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/delhi-pollution-control-committee-authorization\"><strong>Delhi Pollution Control Committee<\/strong><\/a> (DPCC) estimates, there are about 40 dismantlers in the NCR, with 4 in Delhi. For refurbishers, this number is just 3. There are around authorised 43 collection centres (under EPR) in Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-open-e-waste-business-in-delhi\/#Types_of_E-waste_Businesses_in_Delhi\" >Types of E-waste\nBusinesses in Delhi<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-open-e-waste-business-in-delhi\/#Collection_segregation_and_storage_of_E-waste_in_Delhi\" >Collection,\nsegregation and storage of E-waste in Delhi<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-open-e-waste-business-in-delhi\/#Dismantling_of_e-waste_in_Delhi\" >Dismantling of e-waste\nin Delhi<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-open-e-waste-business-in-delhi\/#Refurbishing_of_e-waste_in_Delhi\" >Refurbishing of e-waste in Delhi<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-open-e-waste-business-in-delhi\/#Steps_in_opening_an_E-waste_Business\" >Steps in opening\nan E-waste Business<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-open-e-waste-business-in-delhi\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_E-waste_Businesses_in_Delhi\"><\/span>Types of E-waste\nBusinesses in Delhi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfocus of e-waste recycling in Delhi is Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)\nwaste. As per the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 the manufacturer\/ importer\nand refurbishers of electronic and electrical products have been given the\nresponsibility to control E-waste by the products after the expiry of their\nlifetime. DPCC gives consent to\noperate for only collection, segregation and storage and refurbishing of e-waste.\nAs per a recent study, Delhi NCR generated 85,000 metric tonnes (MT) of e-waste\nin 2018. This was expected to go up to 150,000 metric tonnes (MT) by 2020,\naccording to&nbsp;Assocham. This shows a vast opportunity in the e-waste\nbusiness (collection dismantling and refurbishing of e-waste) in Delhi.\nFollowing are the types of e-waste businesses in Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collection_segregation_and_storage_of_E-waste_in_Delhi\"><\/span>Collection,\nsegregation and storage of E-waste in Delhi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ncollection of e-waste is still done mainly by the informal sector as everyday\nconsumers of the EEE prefer selling the e-scrap at the convenience of their\nhomes rather than dropping it at the collection centres. An initiative was\nrecently started by SDMC and NDMC where consumers can submit an online request to\ncollect e-waste from their homes and get paid. Private companies are engaged for\nthe purpose. Establishing a collection network, creating collection depots and\nconsolidation points and maintaining a dynamic price list according to the\nmarket demand and value of the waste under the same business can cover the\nentire process and make the operation cheaper and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storage\nof e-waste also demands fulfilment of certain legal compliances and obligations\nas per the E-Waste management rules, 2016. The stakeholders in the E-waste processing business can store e-waste for\nnot more than 180 days. If the waste needs to be stored explicitly for the\ndevelopment of a process for its recycling or reuse, this time can be extended\nto 365 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment\u2019s\nCollection, Segregation and Storage (without Dismantling and Recycling) is\ncategorised in the white category of Industries and are not required to obtain\nthe Consent to Establish \/ Operate under the Air &amp; Water Acts.

According to a recent government report, 95% of e-waste in India is recycled by the informal sector and scrap dealers unscientifically dispose of it by burning or dissolving it in acids. Delhi NCR region has been a significant contributor to e-waste with a population of more than two crores. 2018, a study estimated that Delhi generates around 2 million metric tonnes of e-waste annually, of which 90-95% reaches the landfills or informal recyclers who break them in the open &#8212; both a severe environmental risk. About 5,000 e-waste processing units are functioning in Delhi in the informal sector where manual and rudimentary techniques are being implemented\u2014 dismantling or recovering hazardous substances by hammering, open burning or acid leaching. Recently all these activities are stringently monitored and a push is being given to create a formal and regularised e-waste business network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read our Article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-become-producer-responsibility-organization\/\">How to become Producer Responsibility Organization?\n<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-waste has been an environmental concern worldwide.
