Dy CM Pawan Kalyan vows to establish e-waste recycling in all districts

K Pawan Kalyan, Deputy Chief Minister, has committed to establishing e-waste recycling units in every district headquarters, adding to the existing six units.

During Question Hour in the AP Assembly, he mentioned that the increasing amount of e-waste generated daily necessitated the sanctioning of more recycling units, particularly in urban areas. He noted that one unit already existed in Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Tirupati, and Kadapa, with two additional units in Anantapur.

He suggested that private agencies could initiate such units in areas where they were not currently available.

The collection of e-waste in accordance with the e-Waste Management Rules notified by MoEF and GoI began in AP on April 1 of the previous year. The state ranked 12th in e-waste generation based on estimates from the Central Pollution Control Board?s data.

After the collection of e-waste, recyclers separate it into plastics, precious and other metals, hazardous waste, and other materials. Plastic waste is sent to waste-processing units for the manufacture of granules/pellets, while hazardous waste is sent to the treatment-storage-disposal facility.

The inert material extracted from recycling precious and other materials would be sent to TSDF for further scientific treatment and disposal, as explained by the Deputy Chief Minister in his reply.
