As the world faces urgent environmental challenges, the metal recycling industry has become increasingly vital. By recovering and reprocessing scrap metal, these companies conserve resources, save energy, and protect the environment. Additionally, they create economic benefits by generating jobs and providing cost-effective raw materials. Located in Chennai, Earth Sense Recycle Pvt. Ltd., is an initiative of India's first BioMedical Waste Management & Handling Company M/s. GJ Multiclave (India) Pvt. Ltd. The company is an industry leading electrical and electronic waste recycling (EEE), Asset Management and Value Recovery Solution provider since its inception in 2008. Being an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and R 2 V 3 certified company, the firm has a PAN India presence with its flagship facility at Telangana and branches in Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, and West Bengal with a recycling capacity of 65000 Metric Tonne per annum.
Compliance & Transparency
Earth Sense Recycle bridges the industry gap by adhering to rigorous standards and prioritizing Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR). In a competitive market, the firm stands out by maintaining a structured approach to material collection and recycling, working with over 15 major aggregators nationwide. Unlike some recyclers who use improper practices or bogus documentation, the firm pays fair prices for materials and commits to genuine recycling processes. To foster a more accountable recycling ecosystem, the firm advocates for
stricter government audits and on-site inspections to differentiate compliant recyclers from non-compliant ones, addressing the challenge of informal practices in the market.
In addressing inquiries related to electrical and electronic waste recycling, Earth Sense Recycle focuses on educating consumers and meeting their expectations with top-notch services. Unlike in Western countries where consumers pay for recycling, in India, consumers often expect payment for their old electronics. “We recognize this difference and offer fair compensation to encourage responsible disposal. For bulk consumers such as IT companies and government institutions, we address concerns by providing transparent and competitive tender processes. Despite producers supporting recycling efforts, there is often a demand for higher returns from consumers and aggregators. We advocate for a shift in mindset towards prioritizing environmental responsibility over revenue”, speaks Dr. S. John Robert, CEO, Earth Sense Recycle.
