A large portion of our population remains unaware about the concept of efficient e-waste management. This is a critical challenge to the modern Indian society, and there is a need for coordinated efforts from the government, NGOs, and the general-public towards managing e-waste better for sustainable development. With the launch of the "India Cleanup Week", Cerebra Green aims to collect huge tonnes of e-waste by the end of October, making it the largest e-waste clean-up drive in the country to date in an organized manner. "said Mr. V Ranganathan, Managing Director and Founder, Cerebra Integrated Technologies Limited According to Mr. Anwar Shirpurwala, Chief Executive Officer, MAIT, "Malpractices in breaking down non-working laptops, cell-phones and other goods - in India, which are generally burnt to dust, has resulted in the residue from EEE getting dumped in rivers, drains or disposed in solid waste dumps. Over time, this has led to degeneration of land and water quality. We realize that a clean-up week in India is necessary and will help towards this cause. We have extended our partnership to Cerebra Green along with the other Govt bodies and hope that the association will help in amplifying and strengthening the initiative to achieve the desired results |
