Join Hands Together for an E-Waste Free Tomorrow

E-Waste, a dangerous concern that can cause harm to the whole world in future. Recently, everybody uses electronic appliances. When you simply look around right now, you will find more than two electronic products. What will you do when those products get damaged? Will you throw them to the environment?

Most of the electronic products will contain toxic substances like cadmium, lead and mercury, that causes toxic emission to the soil, water and air when disposed in your landfill. So, this unscientific disposal will cause negative impacts like health issues and environmental degradation.

Yakita believes that we have the responsibility to deliver not only quality products but also those products need to be eco-friendly. As an initial stage, Yakita seeks the shared responsibility of our customers to reduce the impact by recycling the used electronic products scientifically.

Under the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 as amended by E-Waste (Management) Amendment Rules, 2017 have been notified. Yakita has different collection points to collect, dismantle and dispose of e-waste. The list of collection points and their contact details are provided below.
