Why is it important to recycle E-waste?



Electronic waste, simply known as e-waste, is an increasing threat to human health as well as the environment as a whole. Dated mobile phones, computers, discarded industrial electronic equipment, etc. are some of the examples of our ever-increasing e-waste pile.

Annually, the world generates 20-50 million MT of e-waste with India alone generating a staggering 3 million MT of electronic waste.

This growing issue garnered attention due to its serious effects. From the government to the industries as well as the consumers are taking efforts to control the effects by resorting to reuse and recycling.

So, why is electronic waste recycling imperative?

·         Extraction of Raw materials
Electronic waste contains a vast amount of raw materials. Precious metals like gold, silver are recovered from proper recycling of e-waste. Here’s a fact, globally, only 10%-15% of gold from e-waste is recovered successfully while the rest is lost. Also, according to United Nations, precious metals discovered in e-waste are estimated to be 40 to 50 times richer than ores mined from earth.

·         Accumulating Solid Waste
The growing solid waste has made it difficult to manage it effectively. Consumers’ use of electronic devices has decreased to the rapid advancement in technology causing rapid generation of solid waste.

·         Heavy Toxic Materials
One of the biggest threats of accumulating e-waste is that it contains heavy toxic metals like mercury, cadmium, lead, etc. If not recycled properly before dumping, these material s seep into the environment and damage it.

·         Movement of e-waste
Countries globally are transporting e-waste and dumping them into other countries. The countries where the waste ends up have cheap labor with no advanced recycling techniques. Without proper recycling, the local population is exposed to toxic waste which has caused health risks and is a growing concern.

Follow the mantra – Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. – for a better Earth, a better future.

Not only does it help recover precious metals like gold and silver, but it also tackles the mounting solid waste issue caused by our tech-driven world.

  9. Dear Eco Recycling Ltd Investor Relations Team,

    I am writing to you as a concerned individual shareholder of Eco Recycling Ltd. Over the past several quarters, I have closely followed the company’s performance and appreciated the transparency demonstrated through investor presentations and conference calls during the earlier years of my investment.

    It is deeply worrying that, despite significant deterioration in financial performance — including a 59.71% decline in net profit in the quarter ended December 2025 and other noticeable declines in recent periods — the Company has ceased publishing post-results investor decks and commentary and has not conducted any investor conference calls reflecting on the results or strategy going forward.

    This abrupt withdrawal of investor communications is unacceptable and falls far below the standards expected of a listed public company. It deprives shareholders of material information needed to make informed decisions and undermines trust in the management’s commitment to transparent governance.

    In particular:

    Lack of Post-Result Commentary and Decks: There has been no formal investor update, deck, or management commentary accompanying the quarterly and annual results despite material changes in financial performance.

    No Management Interaction Channels: Investor conference calls or Q&A sessions have been discontinued without notice, justification, or timelines for resumption.

    Serious Concern for Shareholder Rights: The absence of timely communication breaches the spirit of SEBI’s continuous disclosure norms and best practices in investor relations.

    I request that the Company immediately:

    a. Publish detailed post-result investor decks explaining the reasons for financial declines, corrective actions, and strategic outlook.
    b. Schedule an open investor conference call (with Q&A) within the next 14 days.
    c. Provide written commentary addressing the company’s operational challenges and governance practices related to investor transparency.

    This email and the cc’d regulatory and media contacts reflect my escalating concerns as a shareholder about transparency, accountability, and fair disclosure.

    I trust the Company will act promptly to reaffirm its commitment to good corporate governance and responsible communication with its shareholders.

    Sincerely,
    Ankur Jain
