India E-Waste

India E-Waste

We use electronics every day as we work, live, play, and learn. As they become obsolete, we need to recycle them. But the rapid proliferation of electronic products has led to more and more of them showing up at landfills.

Through both voluntary and mandatory programs, producers are taking responsibility for the proper disposition and recycling of electronic products.

Cisco significantly reduces the environmental impact of used electronic products through its end-of-life programs. Cisco Customer Recycling Solutions is designed to harvest and reuse the materials contained in the equipment collected. Products are disassembled and then processed to retrieve materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, plastics, etc. We return these materials to the market where they are made into new products. More than 99 percent of the electronics sent for processing are recycled.
