Hulladek Recycling Pvt Ltd, Eastern India’s fastest growing e-waste management company, has collected more than 7000 Kg of e -waste from educational institutes of Kolkata and suburbs as a part of their ‘Freedom from E-waste’ campaign that was run throughout the month of August. The company, which is headquartered in Kolkata, has collection network of e-waste across 24 cities in 18 states of the country at present and plans to increase its collection points across all states of India.
As a part of commemoration of the 75th year of Indian independence, Hulladek had conducted extensive awareness campaigns and collection drives reaching out to various schools and colleges. Collection from various educational institutes that include La Martiniere For Boys, Sri Sri Academy, J D Birla Institute, Basanti Devi College, BT College Barrackpore, Vivekananda College, Kendriya Vidyalaya- Kakinada, Narasingha Dutta College-Howrah, Raja Peary Mohan College, Panskura College and others have resulted in a collection of more than 7000 Kg of e-waste. This special campaign continued for the entire month of August.
“After 75 years of independence, we now face newer challenges in this country. As we digitalise more and more, rising electronic waste generation is a serious concern. We work actively in creating awareness about e-waste in schools and colleges across Bengal. Our campaign ‘Freedom from e-waste’ was directed towards organising collection drives in schools and colleges where not only can these institutions dispose of their waste responsibly but students can also come and drop off their electronic waste.
We were happy to have so many schools and colleges participating in this campaign and recycling over 7000 Kg of material with us.”, said Mr Nandan Mall, Founder, Hulladek Recycling.
Principals of all the schools and colleges have lauded this initiative. Students were also shown enthusiasm in this e-waste collection drive.
