E-WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY

KEN LIFESTYLES PRIVATE LIMITED E-WASTE MANAGEMENT POLICY

 

The Information and Communication revolution has brought enormous changes to the way we organize our lives, our economies, industries and institutions. These spectacular developments in modern times have undoubtedly enhanced the quality of our lives, but at the same time, have led to manifold problems including the problem of massive amount of hazardous waste and other waste generated from electric products. Such waste poses a serious threat to human health and the environment. The issue of proper management of such hazardous E-Waste is therefore critical to the protection of livelihood, health and environment.

To deal with this ever-rising problem of E-Waste, the government of India, through its Ministry of Environment and forest, formulated the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules in 2022.

 

KEN LIFESTYLES PRIVATE LIMITED STANDS COMMITTED TO IMPLEMENT THE E-WASTE RULES.

 

The Basel Convention defines wastes as-

 

“Substances or objects, which are disposed of for are intended to be disposed of for are Required to be disposed-off   by the provisions of national laws”.

 

E-waste has been defined as-

 

“Waste electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part or rejects from their Manufacturing and repair process, which are intended to be discarded.”

 

Whereas electrical and electronic equipment has been defined as "Equipment which is dependent on electrical currents or electro-magnetic fields to fully functional".

 

Like hazardous waste, the problem of e-waste has become an immediate and long-term concern as its unregulated accumulation and recycling can lead to major environmental problems endangering human health. This calls for an urgent need for E-Waste Management so as to preserve the ecological balance and reduce landfills. Recycling end-of-life products is vital if we are to save resources and minimize e-waste.

 

E-Waste Collection Programme

 

As an environmentally responsible corporate organization we hereby ensure environmentally safe and sound management of e-waste, so we KEN LIFESTYLES PRIVATE LIMITED have tied up with Naturevolt Recyclers India Pvt Ltd who will support us in the channelization of E-waste from end customer to the dismantling/recycling premise and establishment of collection points.

Gati Kintetsu Express Pvt Ltd is the e-waste managing partners of our Recycler for reverse logistics facility which will facilitate collection of e-waste from the collection points and also support with door-to-door collection of e-waste in environmentally safe and sound manner.

    Why Recycle.

    Conserve Resources

    Creation requires raw resources. But when we recycle, extant material is put to use. Recycling saves this extraction of the fresh raw resources and revives the existing ones that are no longer of use. This way there is less exploitation and more conservation of natural resources.

     

    Save Energy

    Each time we recycle a product, it requires less energy than producing a new one from scratch. The considerable difference in manufacturing time is a result of skipping the usual process of extraction of raw material, its transportation, refining etc., which is way more than having a market ready product that to have a raw material ready for production.

     

    Prevent Pollution

    Production and disposal of products require a great deal of extraction, refining, processing and dumping of material, which have a larger impact on the environment. By recycling, we cut down the pollution of air, water and land, thus reducing the greenhouse gas emission and avoiding any contribution to global  warming.

     

    Don'ts for E-Waste

     

    • The product should not be opened/dismantled by the User himself/herself, but only by authorized service personnel.
    • The product is not meant for re-sale to any unauthorized agencies/scrap dealer
    • The product is not meant for mix in into household waste stream.
    • Do not keep any replaced spare part(s)from the product in the exposed area
