India Expands E-Waste Mining For Critical Minerals
|
8.1
India is ramping up formal e-waste recycling to recover critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt and nickel, officials and industry sources said, after the country generated nearly 1.5 million tonnes of e-waste last year. The government approved a $170 million programme last year to boost formal recovery and supply-chain traceability, aiming to cut import dependency, though over 80 percent of waste remains processed informally.
Scoring Rationale
Strong national industry shift and government funding, limited by current informal sector dominance and capacity gaps.
