A few years ago, a client from Gujarat called us with a simple yet powerful idea:
“I want to start a business that helps clean up India’s e-waste.”

At that time, it was just a vision — no land, no licenses, just intent.
Within a year, that idea became a fully functional, CPCB-registered e-waste recycling plant, processing tonnes of discarded electronics every month — legally, safely, and profitably.

Today, stories like this aren’t rare. Across India, entrepreneurs are discovering that sustainability can be both responsible and rewarding.

The New Landscape of E-Waste Recycling

India generates over 1.7 million tonnes of e-waste every year — from our old phones, laptops, cables, and batteries.
Until recently, most of this waste ended up in informal scrap yards, but that’s rapidly changing.

Under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, the government now mandates that every recycler, manufacturer, and producer must register with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) through its EPR Portal before operating.

This shift isn’t just about compliance — it’s about credibility, transparency, and building a cleaner, accountable recycling ecosystem.

What It Takes to Get Started

If you’re planning to build your own recycling plant, here’s how most successful recyclers begin their journey:

• Register on the CPCB EPR Portal
  Start by creating your online account and submitting the required documents for authorization.
• Obtain State Pollution Board Approvals
  Secure your Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) from your State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).
• Show Facility Readiness
  Upload geo-tagged photos and videos of your plant layout, machinery, and safety setup.
• Ensure Safety & Compliance
  File a self-declaration confirming adherence to environmental and occupational safety norms.

Once verified, CPCB issues your Recycler Registration Certificate, valid for five years.
With it, you can legally process e-waste, generate EPR credits, and trade them with registered producers — turning compliance into opportunity.

How the Business Creates Value

An e-waste recycling plant isn’t just about dismantling — it’s about recovery.
Every circuit board, battery, and wire contains valuable materials like copper, aluminum, iron, and even gold.

Recyclers extract these metals, which are then reused in manufacturing — saving natural resources and reducing mining dependency.

The best part?
Every registered recycler earns EPR certificates, which can be sold to producers to help them meet their sustainability targets.
That means — what was once waste is now a source of recurring, compliant revenue.

Why Now Is the Right Time

Five years ago, e-waste recycling was a niche business.
Today, it’s a necessity.

With digital monitoring by CPCB, stricter compliance norms, and corporate ESG goals rising across sectors, the demand for authorized recyclers has never been higher.

For entrepreneurs, this is the perfect moment to enter a market where policy, business, and purpose align.
