E-waste recycling clause in government tenders mandatory to improve Delhi’s air quality
NEW DELHI: To tackle the rising e-waste menace, the Delhi govt has made recycling of e-waste mandatory in all procurement contracts. The city government has asked all departments and autonomous bodies to include an e-waste recycling clause in tender documents.
As per the new directive, any e-waste generated during contract execution must be handed over only to recycling agencies. Officials believe the move will ensure environmentally sound disposal of e-waste.
