Central Bank of India celebrates its foundation day
The Central Bank of India marked its 114th Foundation Day on 21 December with celebrations held across the country.
Hulladek Recycling, a well known e-waste recycling company, collected more than 7000kg of e-waste during the festive season from the city and its suburbs. “During festivals we clean our homes and get rid of all kinds of waste. It is important that this waste is recycled in a proper manner, especially e-waste. Hence, we started this collection initiative along with our partner organizations,” said Nandan Mall, chairman and managing director Hulladek Recycling.
The farm collaborated with schools, residential complexes along with clubs, NGOs to collect e-waste. Though India is the fifth largest e-waste producer globally, 80 per cent of the ewaste in the country is being managed by the informal sector. Mr Mall said an awareness drive regarding proper recycling of e waste is required across the state.
