Mr. E Dropbox

As technology advances, so does e-waste, now one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. But behind every discarded gadget lies a toxic threat to human health and the environment.

🔍 Hidden Dangers in E-Waste:

• Lead (circuit boards, monitors) : Damages the nervous system, kidneys & brain development in children.

• Cadmium (chip resistors) : Accumulates in organs, causes neural damage & irreversible toxicity

• Mercury (switches, circuit boards) : Leads to chronic brain damage & respiratory disorders.

• Plastics & PVC (cables, housing) : Releases dioxins that disrupt reproductive & developmental health.

This is to inform all Producers, Importers, and Brand Owners (PIBOs) registered during FY 2022-24 that they are required to file their Annual Return (AR) for FY 2023-24 by 30th November 2024. Failure to comply will result in auto-filing of the AR, and EPR obligations for FY 2024-25 will be increased by 25%.

Additionally, registration for manufacturers, sellers, and importers of plastic raw materials in the micro and small category is now operational on the EPR Plastic Portal from December 4, 2024. Entities must submit their applications promptly, referring to the updated guidance manual available on the portal.

GIFT City is setting a benchmark in sustainability with its automated waste management system, powered by Swiss technology. Waste is transported via vacuum suction pipes at 140 km/h to a centralized center for segregation. Organic waste becomes manure for city gardens, while inorganic waste is incinerated using plasma technology, generating thermal power for internal use. This cutting-edge system reduces human interference and landfill reliance, making GIFT City a model for eco-friendly urban innovation. #Sustainability #SmartCities #WasteManagement #GIFTCity #GreenInnovation
