Kolkata, 24th November 2023: Hulladek Recycling Pvt. Ltd., Eastern India’s fastest growing e-waste management company, that collects and channelizes electronic and electrical waste across 18 states in the country, conducted a massive e-waste collection drive during the festive season in Kolkata. The Company collected more than 7000 kgs of electronic and electrical waste from Kolkata & suburbs.
Most Indian households get their annual full-blown cleaning spree to prepare their houses for the festival of lights. This decluttering results in heaps and piles of old clothes, toys, books, utensils, and electronic devices ready to be discarded as waste. Without a designated agency available to pick up these unwanted goods from individuals at their convenience, they are left with no choice but to toss them away as trash which ends up adding to the humongous mountains of waste at landfills.
“During the festivals, we clean our homes and get rid of all kinds of waste. It is important that this waste is recycled in a proper manner, especially e-waste. Hence, we started this collection initiative in association with our partner organizations. We are thankful to the people of Kolkata for supporting this collection drive,” said Mr Nandan Mall, Chairman and Managing Director, of Hulladek Recycling Pvt Ltd.
Hulladek Recycling collaborated with schools like Birla High School, Calcutta Public School and Funlish Language School, residential complexes like Eastern High Apartment, South City Apartment and Vandana Housing Society, along with other organizations like Lions Club, Care Center, Junction IT, Ecotain, Dontia Dental Care, Mritikka Earthy Talks, Twirl Store and The Yellow Straw along with more than 250 individuals collectively contributing such a huge amount.
Established in 2015, Hulladek Recycling Private Limited is One of the top 5 PROs (Producer Responsibility Organisation) in the country and already manages the e-waste of corporates like Tata Steel, Pepsico, Nestle India, IndusInd Bank, Mondelez International, etc. India is the fifth largest e-waste producer globally and with over 80% of the e-waste in India being managed by the informal sector, the scope of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) & Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO) is bound to increase in the coming days.
