1. Centre of Excellence on E-waste Management:
Centre of Excellence (CoE) on E-waste Management is a unique concept, first of its kind in the country, to create physical infrastructure and knowledge hub for the development of cost-effective technologies for E-waste recycling and dissemination of E-waste solutions to interested industries. Currently e-waste is handled either by informal sector in a rudimentary manner or exported to foreign countries for recycling and recovery of precious metals. In order to develop environmentally benign and affordable e-waste recycling technologies, CoE on E-waste management has been created at Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), Hyderabad on PPP Model with the aegis of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of Telangana and Private industries (40:40:20). The main objective of CoE is to provide one stop solution for all kind of e-waste recycling technologies, strengthening the engineering ecosystem to improve process efficiency, design and development of affordable process equipment for e-waste recycling, extending consultancy services to interested industries, nurturing start ups etc.
The CoE is hosting incubation facilities to create prototypes for addressing various facets of E-waste management. CoE also promotes start-ups to develop their innovative ideas, offer training to MSMEs for dismantling practices, attract informal E-waste recyclers to practice environmental recycling practices, providing training to empower the Indian electronics and electrical industries on the E-waste Management Rule (2023) through RoHS facility available at C-MET etc. An M.Tech programme on E-waste Resource Engineering & Management is also initiated jointly by IIT, Hyderabad and C-MET for quality human resource development in e-waste space. CoE has already transferred e-waste recycling technologies to 22 industries for commercial production.
