Have tied up with attero ( www.attero.co.in ) which has India's only ewaste plant and the 7th such plant of its type in the word today. the plant working is interestingly technology savy enough so that it actually recycles all IT components that is dumped in it. Say you dump in 10 motherboards, once it is recycled at the end of the process, it comes out as 99.9% pure grade metals like Iron, Mercury, Lead, cadmium etc which were used in the manufacturing process. these metals can again be reused in the manufacture of components. a total recycling process and therefore saving us from the vast amounts of ewaste dumped everywhere. According to our initial studies Goa alone generates almost 100 tonnes of ewaste a year! but no one has taken any initiative as such to do something about it. Since 2008, the Central Govt. has put in place the hazardous management act wherein one was supposed to properly recycled ewaste , or give ur ewaste to authorised recyclers. since goa had no one / and due to ignorance, everyone gives to your friendly neighbourhood scrap dealer (illegal) or kabbadiwalla (illegal again). also these scrap dealers burn or through pouring acid try to get rid of the waste which is highly toxic and hazardous to all. here we are trying to do it in an environmentally friendly manner. we are telling people there is an alternative now. the power is YOURS!. permit me to share an attachment to the group which has the banner we are using attached. -- Kind regards Ashley Delaney Keep goa Ewaste free - contact us now Devine Computers Abreovaddo, Saligao, Bardez, Goa.
