How India’s e-Waste Is Turning into a Resource Revolution
India stands at the crossroads of a digital and environmental revolution. As one of the fastest-growing digital economies, the nation also faces an unprecedented surge in electronic waste (e-Waste). Over 63 million tons of discarded gadgets accumulate across cities each year – but what was once a mounting problem is now becoming a powerful opportunity.
e-Waste: From Trash to Treasure
e-waste isn’t just discarded electronics – it’s a mine of valuable resources waiting to be reclaimed. Within these devices lie materials such as:
- Plastics
- Ferrous metals like iron and steel
- Non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper
- Precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium
- Rare earth elements like neodymium and dysprosium
When responsibly processed, these materials can be reintroduced into manufacturing cycles, reducing dependence on traditional mining and cutting environmental impact.
