Amazon Brand – India E-waste Program

This product does not exceed the maximum limits of hazardous constituents enumerated under the Reduction of Hazardous Substances provisions as per Chapter V (16) (1) of the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016. Recycle your old Amazon brand products and help protect the environment.

Consequences of Improper E-Waste Handling & Recycling
E-waste when disposed or recycled improperly, can cause severe environmental pollution and adversely affect the human body as they contain excess of toxic chemicals like mercury, polybrominated flame retardants, barium, lithium and PVC. The common process of burning of e-waste in informal e-waste recycling and disposal facilities releases toxic gases into the atmosphere, causing severe air pollution. Besides that, poor recycling and improper disposal of e-waste leads to a lot of pollutants such as heavy metals like cadmium, lead and persistent organic pollutants to be released into the atmosphere, which further pollutes the eco-system and causes health hazards. Alternately the practice of dumping of e-waste into landfills
as followed by the informal e-waste recycling and disposal facilities eventually makes the hazardous and toxic components of e-waste seep into the eco-system including the regional water tables, causing soil pollution and contaminating the water table. Such contamination will affect nearby communities in an adverse manner for much longer time. Accidental breakage and damage of electronics and e-waste can pose a threat to the environment. As long as the toxic components in electronics are enclosed within the original manufacturer’s designed outer-shell of the gadget, they don’t pose much of a danger as they have been engineered to contain any such effects. However, accidental breakage or damage of such electronics or e-waste can lead to toxic elements leaking and contaminating their immediate environment. Damage to the environment due to accidental breakage of e-waste is a major concern in informal e-waste disposal and recycling facilities, so consumers need to ensure that their e-waste is being disposed only through authorized recycling points.

Amazon Brand Recycling Program (India)
Reteck Envirotech Private Limited (“Reteck”), a recycling company, has been authorized to provide e-waste disposal service to all customers who have purchased Amazon brand products. Reteck has a PAN-India collection mechanism for collecting e-waste from customers and for further disposal of such e-waste as per the E-Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2016 effective October 1, 2016 and amendments therein.  Reteck will provide e-waste drop off points and ensure environmentally sound management of electronics that have reached their end-of-life phase. Reteck has all the necessary authorizations from the appropriate governmental agencies for their processing facilities. Reteck ensures proper recycling and disposal of e-waste, and does not incinerate, send e-waste to landfill or export hazardous e-waste to other countries. This helps us protect the environment from any hazardous consequences, which would be otherwise caused by the inappropriate waste management of e-waste.
