The earth deserves care and thoughtfulness all round the year but on a day that has always stood for initiatives, pledges, meets and marches for the earth, Attero and Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. (MCX) joined hands to do their bit by organizing an internal E-waste collection drive. E waste is a growing hazard that has not got the attention it deserves. Through this drive, we emphasized the need for proper E-waste disposal in India, a country doubly oppressed with e waste from both domestic as well as international sources.
Testing Facilities
Attero’s recycling process is a balance between disassembly, mechanical separation of complex materials and metallurgical treatment, resulting in a minimization of the labor intensive manual disassembly.
First Stage - Manual segregation of components, where different parts of E-waste are separated.
Second Stage - The mechanical separation process is applied. In this process, ferrous, aluminum, plastic and non ferrous material are initially separated.
Third Stage - The plastics are then recycled by Attero Group’s innovative plastics recycling process which further processes the plastic.
Fourth Stage - The non-ferrous metals are sent to Attero’s metallurgical treatment plant where the non-ferrous metals are separated into constituent metals. This allows Attero Recycling to achieve higher efficiency and exceed recycling and recovery rates across the different WEEE categories. This is an indigenously developed process by Attero, a pioneer in transforming non-recyclable plastic to carbon black.
Research & Development
Attero Recycling has a research and development wing which is continuously working on enhancing the recycling process. Batch sampling is done on a continuous basis allowing us to analyze the substances and materials from the product streams, which have environmental impact in downstream processes. This also helps the R&D team to make the process more efficient.
Material Recovery
Material recovery guarantees the destruction of sensitive information or hardware through the size reduction, separation and refinement of individual materials.
