Today, India
is the fifth largest electronic waste producer in the world. E-waste recycling
is undoubtedly a profitable business these days. Everybody uses electronic
gadgets these days and their models change very fast. Indians are quite
prosperous now, and so, they can afford to buy new versions of mobile phones
and laptop etc.. That’s the reason e-waste generation is increasing too much
every year in India. E-waste business is done in a very organized way in India.
Small town e-waste collectors sell their electronic scrap to big e-waste
dealers in big cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chandigarh,
and Delhi etc.
In every big
Indian city, there are certain e-scrap markets, yet all the e-waste traders of
that particular city cannot be contacted there. They are located in different
parts of the city, mostly on the outskirts. Delhi is the main market of
e-waste. Almost 70% of the e-waste generated in India comes to Delhi.
Following
