JNARDDC Hosts Meet to Boost Non-Ferrous Recycling

03 Jun 2025 CW Team

The workshop brought together recyclers, traders, and service providers to address on-ground challenges and explore advanced recycling technologies. A major highlight was the industry’s energy efficiency—recycling consumes only a fraction of the energy needed for primary metal production, making it vital for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

JNARDDC, India’s nodal agency for metal recycling, is actively innovating in the field through its Recycling Promotion Division. A state-of-the-art demonstration plant is being developed to showcase efficient, sustainable recycling methods tailored to Indian industry needs.

Speaking at the event, JNARDDC Director Dr Anupam Agnihotri urged the sector to move from informal, fragmented practices to formal, quality-driven, tech-enabled operations. “JNARDDC stands not as an enforcer, but as a partner,” he said, pledging comprehensive support for recyclers—from technical assistance and regulatory clarity to the setup of Common Facility Centres (CFCs).

The event drew participation from key associations including the Telangana Aluminium Utensils Manufacturers Association (TAUMA), Aluminium Extruders and Manufacturers Association of India (ALEMAI), and the Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI). JNARDDC also presented its latest research in aluminium recycling and alloy development designed for domestic applications.

An open house session enabled recyclers to discuss administrative, regulatory, and technical issues candidly. A Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) official briefed attendees on relevant Quality Control Orders (QCOs) impacting the sector.

This initiative, supported by the Union Minister of Coal and Mines Shri G. Kishan Reddy, reflects the government's sustained push towards sustainable resource use, carbon neutrality, and self-reliant economic growth. Through such collaborations, India aims to enhance the competitiveness, resilience, and environmental impact of its recycling industry on the global stage.
