New Delhi [India], August 19: India's e-waste ecosystem has posted its strongest year yet under the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regime, with national recovery climbing from 61.94% in FY 2023-24 to 70.71% in FY 2024-25. The surge, Shashi Shekhar Shahi--Founder of Foxx Compliance Services Pvt. Ltd. (FCSPL)--argues, reflects a decisive shift from fragmented, informal flows to accountable, trackable recycling at scale. "What we're seeing is a compliance turnaround," Shahi said. "Targets are clearer, the portal is doing the heavy lifting on traceability, and serious players are investing in capacity."
