Hindustan Times, Delhi, Mar, 2017: Authorised
e-waste dismantling units could soon be coming up in Delhi with the Delhi
Pollution Control Committee planning to issue licence to proper handling units.Units,
in which electronic waste such as televisions, mobiles, computers and laptop
are disassembled before they go to recycling factories, form an important link
in the chain in which such waste could be disposed off in an eco-friendly
manner.“The proposal was making the rounds in the last few DPCC meetings. In
the last meeting, held less than a month ago, it was agreed on principle that
licence should be issued to set up authorised dismantling units in Delhi as they
are not a hazardous industry,” said a senior officer of the DPCC.
