Introduction

Any electronic product or accessory which has reached the end of its useful life is called E-waste.

These discarded products affect the environment negatively. Apart from affecting the environment, it can also affect the health of the people; hence managing this E-waste effectively is important.

Take Back & Recycling:

In our commitment to ensuring a greener tomorrow, Havells is offering an E-Waste take-back & recycling service that adheres to the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India. When an electronic product reaches its end of life, we take it back and recycle it.

As a part of the E-waste recycling initiative, Havells has partnered with government-authorized recyclers. Havells will provide E-waste drop-off centers and ensure environmentally safe management of electronics that have reached their end of life or otherwise and also defective spare parts.

All the necessary and legal authorizations required for the processing facilities have been taken and approved by concerned governmental agencies. The recycling and disposal of E-Waste help us to ensure the protection of the environment from hazardous consequences.

We urge our Channel partners/Consumers/Bulk Consumers to contribute towards the prevention of the environment by the simple action of properly disposing of their old consumer durable products, its accessories, or defective spares.
