Recycling

The primary benefits of recycling are:

• Saves Natural Resources: By reusing materials we conserve land and also eliminate digging into the minerals.
• Saves Energy: It takes less energy to make recycled products, for instance making recycled aluminum takes 95% less energy than new aluminum from bauxite ore.
• Saves Clean Air and Water: Making products from recycled material creates far lesser air and water pollution compared to manufacturing products from virgin materials.

Godrej Take Back Policy

Electronic waste (E-waste) comprises of waste electrical/electronic goods which are not fit for their originally intended use. These outdated/obsolete appliances or electrical/electronic devices found in offices and houses can become hazardous if not discarded properly. E-waste is hazardous as it contains hazardous constituents like toxic substances and chemicals, which can have adverse effect on environment and health, if released indiscriminately into the environment. Safety and environmental considerations must be taken into account when disposing of old electrical household appliances.

To promote environmental sustainability in Indian Industry, Godrej Group under the chairmanship of Mr. Jamshyd N Godrejis signatory to the ‘Mission on Sustainable Growth-CII Code for Ecologically Sustainable Growth’. Godrej is committed to reduce resource intensity & emissions, discharge & waste generation by 2-6% every year.

Godrej is committed to protect our environment by ensuring safe disposal of their Appliances e.g. Refrigerators, Washing Machines&Air-Conditioners after the end of their useful life.

As per E-Waste Management & Handling Rules 2011 issued by Ministry of Environment and Forest,E-Waste has been defined as “waste electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing and repair process, which are intended to be discarded”. Electrical and electronic equipment has been defined as “equipment which is dependent on electrical currents or electro-magnetic fields to fully functional”.

E-waste generally consists of those substances contained in an appliance product which can have adverse effects on the environment and hence managing it in a scientific way is important. Apart from affecting the environment it can also have adverse affect on the health of the people.

Recycling benefits of old appliances:

• Recycling recovers valuable materials from old appliances that can be used to make new products. As a result, we save energy, reduce pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save resources by extracting lessraw materials from the earth.
• Safe recycling of outdated appliances promotes sound and scientific management of toxic chemicals thereby protecting our surroundings.
• Donating your used appliances benefits our community by passing on ready-to-use or refurbished equipment to those who need it.
• E-waste is a growing waste stream. By recycling these items, landfill space is conserved.

Consequences of unsafe disposal of appliances:

• Toxic material present in e-waste get mixed with earth, air, water etc and causes health issues.
• Oil & Gases which is present is some of e-waste like compressor and PCB causes environment pollution.
• Burning of rubber, foam & Plastic in open area causes air pollution.

In India, E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2011 have been notified by the Central Government. Godrej stands committed to implement E -Waste Rules. For this purpose Godrej has partnered with the recyclers with valid authorization from Pollution Control Board to facilitate our customers to enable them to dispose of e -waste products after its end- of-life* in an environmentally conscious manner.
