印度推动电子废物循环利用,以减少对进口技术矿物的依赖,但大多数废物仍流向不安全的非正式渠道。 India boosts e-waste recycling to cut reliance on imported tech minerals, but most waste still goes to unsafe informal channels.

印度正在扩大正式的电子废物回收,以回收锂、钴和镍等关键矿物, India is expanding formal e-waste recycling to recover critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel for tech and defense, amid concerns over China’s supply dominance. 一项耗资1.7亿美元的政府方案和生产者延伸责任规则正在推动制造商将废物输送给经认证的回收者,使正规加工从1%增加到60%。 A $170 million government program and Extended Producer Responsibility rules are pushing manufacturers to channel waste to certified recyclers, increasing formal processing from 1% to 60%. 尽管如此,仍有80%以上的电子废物进入非正式的、危险的循环利用网络,危及工人健康和矿产损失。 Despite this, over 80% of e-waste still enters informal, hazardous recycling networks, risking worker health and mineral loss. 印度仍然100%依赖进口关键矿物,使电子废物循环利用成为保障其技术未来的关键但不完整的战略。 India remains 100% reliant on imports for key minerals, making e-waste recycling a crucial but incomplete strategy to secure its technological future.
