E-Waste Recycling

Responsible Disposal of Electronic Waste — Legally Certified

E-Waste (Electronic Waste) refers to all discarded electrical and electronic equipment — from laptops and smartphones to servers, monitors, printers, and industrial control systems. When improperly disposed, these devices release lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium into India's soil and groundwater — posing severe environmental and public health risks.
Epragathi Recycling provides a fully certified, CPCB-authorised e-waste recycling service across India. Every item we collect is processed at our R2v3-certified facility in Tumkuru, Karnataka — with complete chain-of-custody documentation, certified data destruction, and EPR certificates issued for every engagement.

We are a CPCB-registered Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) under the E-Waste Management Rules, 2022 — meaning the EPR certificates we issue are legally valid for your annual CPCB compliance filing. No middlemen. No compliance risk.
Why It Matters

India's E-Waste Crisis Demands Certified Solutions

India is the world’s third-largest generator of electronic waste, producing over 3 million metric tonnes annually. Despite this, only a fraction is formally recycled — the rest ends up in illegal scrap yards, open landfills, and primitive backyard operations that poison communities and contaminate water tables.

Our Process

6 Steps to Certified E-Waste Recycled

A fully documented, independently auditable process — from your premises to our CPCB-authorised facility to your compliance certificate.

01

Request & Quote

Fill our online form, call, or WhatsApp us with a rough description of your e-waste. We respond within 2 business hours with a pickup plan and quote. No commitment required at this stage.

02

Pickup Scheduled

Our logistics team coordinates pickup at a date and time convenient for you. We serve 25+ cities across India. Same-week pickup available for most metro locations. No minimum quantity.

03

Itemised Receipt on Collection

Every item is counted, weighed, and catalogued by category and brand at the point of pickup. An itemised pickup receipt is issued immediately — your first compliance document.

04

Certified Data Destruction

All data-bearing devices (hard drives, SSDs, mobile phones, servers) undergo DoD 5220.22-M or NIST 800-88 compliant data wiping, or physical destruction upon request. Certificate issued per device.

05

R2v3 Certified Processing

All collected e-waste is processed at our R2v3-certified, CPCB-authorised facility in Tumkuru, Karnataka — with safe dismantling, hazardous material extraction, precious metal recovery, and material segregation per E-Waste Rules 2022.

06

Certificate & Report Delivery

We deliver your complete documentation package: EPR certificate, data destruction certificate, weight certificate, and material recovery report — everything your audit team and CPCB filing requires.

MATERIAL RECOVERY

What's Inside Every Device You Discard

Your retired electronics are not waste — they are a mine. Every laptop contains gold, silver, and copper. Every circuit board holds palladium and rare earths. We recover these valuable materials and return them to the supply chain — reducing demand for environmentally destructive virgin mining.

Our R2v3-certified process maximises material recovery rates while safely neutralising toxic substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium — preventing them from entering India's soil and water systems.
