Book Description
e-waste recycling is getting a lot of glamour by virtue of the press. Almost every week I see some articles talking about e-waste and more often than not they talk about two aspects - (a) the pollution caused by e-waste mishandling and (b) the gold and other precious metals content in e-waste. The second part invariably attracts the entrepreneurial mind. Such entrepreneurs, both existing or aspiring then start looking up a lot of literature on the internet which only helps in overwhelming them even more. Having been instrumental in setting up more than 20 e-waste recycling facilities for my customers, and having consulted many more, I have a reasonable insight into the business and am equipped with the correct and relevant knowledge. This book will help the readers to eliminate the clutter from the data available in the public domain and absorb only important and useful information. The objective of writing this book is to help fellow entrepreneurs understand the nuances of setting up an e-waste recycling business. After reading this book, the reader will be able to understand the e-waste market, existing e-waste handling practices, International regulations, India specific regulations, the e-waste business model and its variations, risks and risk mitigation methods. Apart from the core domain knowledge of e-waste recycling, he/she will also be able to get a detailed insight into the actual setting up of the business and ideas to run it successfully.
