HE Times Special Correspondent

nvironment Minister Gopal Rai held a joint review meeting July, 8th with the officials of Environment Department and DPCC regarding the construction of E-Waste Eco Park. After the meeting, Environment Minister  informed that  India’s first E-Waste Eco Park will be developed in Holambi Kalan in Delhi in an area of about 21 acres.

Gopal Rai said, “Every year, Delhi produces over 2 lakh tonnes of e-waste, or about 9.5 percent of the total amount produced in India. With this, Delhi is now the fifth-largest producer of e-waste in India, behind Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. Additionally, it has been shown that only 5% of the generated e-waste is properly recycled. We are bringing India’s first E-Waste Eco Park to Delhi for that reason. By “E-waste Eco Park,” we refer to the establishment of a place where this e-waste is dismantled, refurbished, recycled, and manufactured in a manner that is scientifically and environmentally sound.”

He informed, “To expedite the construction of the E-Waste Eco Park, an 11-person Stirring Committee has been formed. DSIIDC has been made its implementing agency. Additionally, in order to rapidly complete the development of the E-Waste Eco Park, the concerned agency has been asked to appoint a consultant as soon as possible. And it will take an estimated time of about 23 months to develop India’s first E-Waste Eco Park.”

Rai said, “The E-Waste Eco Park that will be created in Delhi will leave a different image of Delhi not just in India but also around the world. Also, the development of this E-waste Eco Park will drastically reduce the pollution caused by e-waste.”
