“e-Waste contains Mercury, Lithium, Iridium, Palladium and Gallium, which are hazardous toxins and they pose severe risk to human and environmental health. They have to be collected and safely handled through recycling. Handling of e-waste carefully and scientifically is extremely important for creating economic value and to make Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) work. That will minimize environment and health impacts,” Dr Rateesh said.
