To mark the
4th International E-Waste Day on October 14th, RLG India
is taking an initiative to educate multiple
stakeholders in the districts of Rajasthan about the need for formal E-waste recycling.
With this, C2G will flag off collection drives, covering strategic cities and
towns of Rajasthan and foster organic collection of Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The collection vehicles will be flagged off from
the RSPCB’s office in Jaipur on October 14th, 2021, and travel
across 12 districts, 22 towns, conducting 45 activities over a period of 10
days, expecting to reach out to more than 20,000 individuals.
On 19th October Clean to Green

area, informal sector, dealer/retailer market, educational institutes.
Talking
about the launch of IEC Awareness & Collection drive, Ms. Radhika Kalia, Managing Director, RLG India, said, “The surge in demand for electronics makes it
imperative to build awareness that promote collection of EEE from the end
users. With the launch of IEC
Awareness & Collection drive in Rajasthan, RLG strives to permeate into all
big/small cities and towns to provide them with the solutions for the E Waste
Problem. We are committed to our aim of building clean and green India
for our future generations.”
Talking about the Awareness drive, Shri Anand Mohan, RSPCB’s
Member Secretary, said, “E-waste management is currently one of the prime
concerns in Rajasthan. A major roadblock that we face today is the lack of
awareness among stakeholders about the importance of proper e-waste disposal.
We have joined hands with RLG’s C2G campaign to be a part of their great
initiative of launching an awareness drive which will not only educate the
stakeholders but will also conduct activities across multiple districts of
Rajasthan to set a practical example of sustainable e-waste management.”
