The Delhi Government has planned to set up India’s first e-waste eco-park to handle increasing e-waste. The announcement was made on Thursday by Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. He said that soon Delhi will be home to the “country’s first” e-waste eco-park which will take care of rising e-waste.
The park is proposed to be built in Narela industrial area in New Delhi, across 20 acres area. The park will recycle and re-manufacture e-waste in a safe and scientific manner. It will include facilities for dismantling, segregating, refurbishing, storage, testing, plastic recycling and precious metal extraction.
