The details of E Waste along with collection centres and pick up facility has been uploaded on the Company's website. One of the important aspects of E Waste Rule is creating awareness amongst stakeholders about necessity to dispose 'End of Life' (EOL) products through authorised recyclers instead handing over to unauthorised recyclers / kabadiwala. The Company has planned various actions for creating such awareness. The Company appeals to all stakeholders to dispose all EOL products through Company's authorized recyclers.
