The company plans to utilize advanced technologies to extract and recover valuable metals such as copper from electronic waste. This approach not only promotes sustainable practices but also reduces the burden on natural resources.

The investment will enable Hindalco to amplify its metal recycling capacity, further strengthening its market position in the copper sector. The facility is expected to process a considerable volume of e-waste, contributing to the circular economy by reusing valuable resources. This move aligns with the company's long-term vision of sustainable development and eco-friendly operations.

Moreover, the state-of-the-art facility will set new benchmarks in terms of technology, utilizing automated systems and eco-friendly processes to ensure both efficiency and environmental responsibility. By integrating the latest tools and machinery, Hindalco aims to optimize resource utilization and minimize environmental impact throughout the recycling process.

The move towards e-waste recycling is in line with global trends and regulations aimed at reducing electronic waste and promoting sustainable resource management. Hindalco's investment demonstrates its commitment not only to environmental preservation but also to meeting the evolving needs of a circular economy.

Overall, Hindalco's INR 2,000 crore investment in the copper e-waste recycling facility underscores the company's dedication to sustainability and responsible business practices. By actively addressing the challenge of e-waste and promoting the recycling of valuable metals, Hindalco aims to play a pivotal role in shaping a greener future for the industry.
