India Orders Audits of Electronic Waste Recyclers to Verify Compliance
India has ordered audits of over 2,000 waste recyclers, including 309 electronic waste processing units, to address inflated recycling claims and forged compliance documents. The inspections will review machinery, operations, and records to ensure adherence to environmental standards. This move follows a federal investigation revealing fake compliance by some recyclers and aims to improve oversight in a sector handling hazardous materials from discarded electronics.
