Under the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 as amended by E-Waste (Management) Amendment Rules, 2018 have been notified. RISO India stands committed to implement E-Waste Rules.
Riso India understands there is a need to encourage recycling of all useful and valuable material from e-waste so as to conserve the ever depleting natural resources. Recycling end-of-life discarded products is vital if we are to save resources and minimize landfill.
Most e-waste contains valuable materials such as aluminium, copper, gold, palladium and silver, it also contains harmful substances like cadmium, lead and mercury. In the absence of proper awareness, disposing e-waste in landfill can result in toxic emissions to the air, water and soil and pose a serious health and environmental hazards.
We understand that our responsibility doesn't end at selling you, our products. We have adopted eco-friendly innovations and practices and are working towards safe disposal of electronic waste. Riso India is integrating multiple innovations into its business processes for efficient use of resources to contribute to the noble cause of environment preservation for the greater good of the society at large.
Extended Producer Responsibility:
Extended producer's responsibility (EPR) is main feature of the E-waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011, wherein the producer of electrical and electronic equipment was given the responsibility of managing such equipment after its 'end of life', thus the producer is responsible for their products once the consumer discards them.
We will strive to create awareness amongst our channel partners/ end customers about managing e-waste, protecting the environment, and importantly for following the recycling and take-back process for end of life products.
As 'producer', Riso India has the arrangements to
- Collect and channelize of e-waste generated in repairing activity and 'end of life' of the product through their authorized recycler.
- Create all round awareness through various campaigns & information dissemination. We strive to work closely with its channel partners & customers in the course of our day to day business activities towards promoting environmental conservation. We encourage the collection of used ink cartridges and machines so that these can be handled in a most environment friendly manner rather than be sending to landfill sites and pollute our earth
Riso India will seek shared responsibility and cooperation from customers in reducing the environmental impact of their products. The company will comply with all the applicable laws related to e-waste management Rules 2016 and as amended by E-Waste (Management) Amendment Rules, 2018.
