Recycling firm first to get pollution board stamp

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has chosen Attero Recycling, an e-waste recycling company, as a first recycler to be given registration by the ministry of environment and forests.

Nitin Gupta, CEO of the Attero Recycling, said, “The registration by the CPCB is in recognition of our commitment to the cause of the environment.”

Attero stepped into e-waste management in 2008 in India with a state-of-the-art plant operational in Roorkee, Uttarkhand, Attero has offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai.

Attero picks up the e-waste from customers and at the time of collection and transportation complete data security is guaranteed to the clients.

“Although we are in the process of developing a collection model where people can drop in the e-waste, customers can call toll free number 1800 419 3283 or email at sourcing@attero.co.in for any collection of e-waste,” said Nitin Gupta.

E-waste disposal in India has been a steadily growing concern among environmentally conscious groups. Developing countries have traditionally been the dumping yard of hazardous wastes for developed countries.
