India a dumping ground

India and China are the major dumping yard. End of life product is brought to our countries and dumped hence increasing the burden on our county.

We ourselves have a huge amount of e-waste and the e-waste coming from America and European countries add more burden on us.

We only recycle 95% of our e-waste through Authorised recycler and rest goes in the hand of the informal sector, they handled this e-waste in an unsafe manner. Which increases the Air and water pollution.

Recycling costs in these countries are very expensive so the easier way is to dump their e-waste to Asian and African countries.
