The following entities are eligible to obtain an E-Waste License for Dismantling:
Individual
Registered Society
Organization
Designated Agency
Company
Association

Meaning of E-Waste Dismantling:

E-Waste dismantling refers to the process of breaking down electronic equipment into its components for the purpose of recycling. It involves crushing, destroying, and segregating electronic waste to facilitate the recovery of materials for reuse. Dismantling is considered an essential step in reducing environmental impact, preventing toxicity, and extracting value from electronic waste.

Dismantling Process: The dismantling process can include both manual and mechanical operations:

Manual Component Dismantling: Involves breaking down electronic devices manually.
Components are segregated into usable and unusable fractions.
Usable components are sent to authorized refurbishers.
Hazardous components are separated for proper disposal by authorized e-waste recyclers.

Mechanical Shredding: Required for further separation into pure materials.
Involves shredding electronic devices after manual dismantling.

Operations Performed by Dismantlers: Dismantlers are responsible for specific operations in the dismantling process:

De-dusting: Removal of dust during the dismantling process.
De-dusting systems maintain desired air quality.

Manual Dismantling: Opening electronic equipment manually.
Physical segregation and separation of each part.
Use of tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, etc.

Safety Measures: Dismantlers must use personal protective equipment.
Workers should have appropriate tools and equipment.
Safety measures include goggles, masks, gloves, helmets, and gumboots.

Waste Segregation: Dismantled items and components like batteries, plastic, cables, and PCBs are removed.
Segregated materials are stored safely for transportation to recyclers.

Handling Hazardous Substances: Dismantlers must have capabilities to deal with leaks of oils, refrigerant gases, and mercury.
Containment measures for broken fluorescent lights and oil spills.

Regulatory Compliance: Entities engaged in E-Waste dismantling must comply with regulatory requirements, including obtaining authorization from State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) or Pollution Control Committees (PCCs).

Benefits of E-Waste License Dismantling:

Preservation of Natural Resources: Proper dismantling and recycling help in preserving natural resources by extracting valuable materials from electronic waste.

Prevention of Pollution: It prevents pollution caused by the release of toxic substances present in electronic waste into the environment.

Generation of Business and Employment Opportunities: E-Waste dismantling creates new business avenues and job opportunities in the recycling and waste management sector.

Promotion of Sustainability: The recycling of electronic waste promotes sustainability by reducing the need for raw materials and minimizing environmental impact.

Consumer Awareness and Conscious Efforts: It encourages consumers to take conscious efforts to protect the environment by responsibly disposing of electronic waste.

Space Requirements for Dismantlers:
Dismantlers require space for various activities related to electronic waste dismantling:
Space for keeping electrical and electronic equipment for up to 180 days.
Area for the dismantling and volume reduction process.
Storage space for keeping dismantled and segregated material.
Free space for the movement of office/administration.
For a dismantling capacity of 1 ton/day, a minimum of 300 square meters is typically needed for various operations.

Essential Conditions for the Premise of Dismantling Operation:
Water-Resistant Roofing and Impervious Surfaces: Premises should have water-resistant roofing and impervious surfaces to ensure a suitable working environment.

Storage Area for Disassembled Spare Parts: Adequate storage space for disassembled spare parts is essential for organized dismantling operations.

Separate Storage Containers: Separate storage containers are required for batteries, capacitors containing P.C.B.s, and P.C.T.s to ensure proper segregation.

Importance of Setting up a Waste Recycling Plant:

Pollution Control: A waste recycling plant is crucial for controlling pollution caused by improper disposal of electronic waste.

Health and Environmental Protection: Proper collection, dismantling, and recycling of electronic waste are essential for human and animal health and overall environmental protection.

Licenses Required for Setting up an E-Waste Plant:

ISO Certificate: International Organization for Standardization certification for quality management.

NOC from SPCB: No Objection Certificate from the State Pollution Control Board.

Company Incorporation: Legal registration and incorporation of the company.

GST Registration: Registration under the Goods and Services Tax for tax compliance.

Procedure for Obtaining E-Waste License for Dismantling:

File an Application with SPCB: Submit an application for E-Waste License for Dismantling to the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).

Obtain Necessary Licenses: Obtain prerequisite licenses such as ISO Certificate, NOC from SPCB, Company Incorporation, and GST Registration.

Submit Application with Documents: Submit the application along with the necessary documents to the concerned authority.

Verification and Premises Inspection: Authorities verify documents and inspect the premises to ensure compliance with requirements.

Grant of E-Waste License: Upon satisfaction with verification and inspection, the authority issues the E-Waste License for Dismantling.
