For the longest time, people raised concerns about regular garbage and its disposal on the roadways. How many times have you noticed yourself grumbling about your nearby street - “These roads, no matter how much they are scrubbed, people will always throw garbage on it.” Like our regular garbage of leftover veggies and cardboard boxes, there is another kind of waste on the rise. A type of waste that is a direct product of the emerging digitalisation and evolution of the world. We are talking about E-Waste or Electronic Waste.

The webinar witnessed participation by a profound group of panellists from the high ranks of the industry and government bodies. Before we share the limelight on the minutes of the webinar, let us first clear the air around EPR.  So, what is EPR, and why is it import

  The significance of circular economy is not unknown. While India is gradually transitioning towards circular economy, it is driving sustainability and economic growth. What’s more, the World Economic Forum predicts that circular economy paves the way for over 50 million careers. In addition to economic growth, circular economy principles have made an enormous market for job seekers too. Are you curious to know more about the job market that circular economy intends to create?
