People buy recycled computer parts at an e-waste market in Kolkata, India, on August 4, 2025. India's e-waste problem escalates, with a 72% increase in the last five years, reaching 1.75 million metric tonnes. Simultaneously, the government works to formalize the e-waste sector, with new regulations and the development of dedicated e-waste eco-parks, like the one planned for Delhi, to manage this growing challenge. However, some companies challenge these regulations, citing increased costs.
