🌱 Why This Park Matters
India ranks as the third-largest producer of e-waste globally. Most of this waste is either dumped in landfills or handled by the informal sector, causing severe environmental and health risks. The E-Waste Park is a groundbreaking step to promote scientific recycling and eco-friendly disposal of electronic waste.
🏗️ Features of the E-Waste Park
- Recycling and recovery facilities for e-waste materials
- Segregation and dismantling zones
- Research and development center for innovation in waste management
- Public awareness museum and visitor center
- Training and employment opportunities for local communities
🚮 Need for E-Waste Management
Delhi generates over 2 lakh metric tonnes of e-waste every year. Improper disposal leads to contamination of air, water, and soil. A dedicated park like this will bring organized, legal, and environment-friendly handling of e-waste in India.
✅ Benefits of the E-Waste Park
- Eco-friendly recycling and resource recovery
- Awareness among citizens about responsible electronic usage
- New green jobs and training programs
- Model facility for other states to replicate
Together, let’s build a cleaner, greener, and more responsible digital India!
