New Delhi (India), April 27: GIZ India and RLG Systems India Private Limited have joined forces for the implementation of a three-year-long Public Private Partnership Project titled “Setting Up Innovative Value Chain for e-Waste Management” also known as “E-Safai” initiative. The project is being funded through the develoPPP programme that GIZ implements on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

E-Safai intends to emphasise on the process of refurbishment, dismantling and recycling of e-waste in an environmentally sound manner.

The objective of which is to provide recommendations for shared responsibility and policy advisory for end-of-life management of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and promotion of resource efficiency and circular economy along the E-waste value chain. The white paper on the national EPR looks at the entire value chain for e-waste management in India and is based on the global practices and inputs from consultations with key stakeholders within the e-waste value chain.
