Delhi's E-Waste Eco Park Expansion Doubles Capacity After Norway Study
Delhi's e-waste recycling center is getting a major upgrade.
Inspired by a similar facility in Norway, the Holambi Kalan plant will become twice as big, handling more electronic waste.
The project will also cost nearly double the original amount, with increased funding.
The upgraded plant will adopt a zero-waste model, meaning no pollution, using advanced cleaning technologies.
This expansion aims to promote a cleaner, more sustainable Delhi and a circular economy by recovering valuable materials.
Delhi's E-Waste Eco Park in Holambi Kalan will double its capacity.
The expansion follows a visit to an e-waste facility in Norway.
The plant will now handle 1.1 lakh metric tonnes of e-waste annually.
Investment will nearly double to around Rs 300 crore.
