KSPCB herds recyclers for treating e-waste:Extraction of gold, silver and platinum will now become more lucrativeSource: The Deccan Herald, Date: , 2010Concerned
over the threat posed to the environment by e-waste generated in the
State, the
Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has launched a project
‘Crystal’ to bring waste treating companies together and help them in
treatment
of waste using state-of-the-art facilities. A Memorandum of
Understanding
(MoU) has been signed in this regard. The business to obtain precious
metal such
as gold, silver and platinum by recycling electronic waste will now be
more
lucrative following this MoU. E-waste can be extracted more
efficiently
by the e- waste recyclers and reusers following the MoU between
e-parisara pvt
limited, the Belgium-based Umicore Precious Metal Refinery and e-waste
agency
(EWA). The project taken up by KSPCB through its hazardous waste and
water
management (HAWA) will ensure scientific extraction of precious
metals.
“There are a dozen informal metal recovery units in the State, that
function in
an unscientific manner. This project ensures work in more scientific
manner.
