Hyderabad-based Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL) on Monday notified it would be establishing a network of ‘end of life’ vehicle recycling facilities across the country. These facilities would deploy automated technologies towards dismantling, depolluting and
shredding to maximise recycling and resource recovery.
In the very first phase, recycling facilities would be developed near Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. In the next phase, the network would develop to over 25 locations across India.
The firm also anticipates to partner with leading automotive companies in both the passenger and the commercial vehicles segments as part of this initiative.
According to industry estimates, by 2025, India is likely to have over two crore vehicles nearing the end of their lives. These, by the side of with other unfit vehicles, if not recycled and managed sustainably, can cause significant pollution and environmental damage, informed a report by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).
