Stacks of recycled air conditioners are seen 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.

In Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia, on July 30, 2025, a worker at Koperasi Pemulung Berdaya's Recycle Business Unit moves large sacks of sorted plastic waste, surrounded by towering stacks of recyclable materials. The cooperative processes up to 26 tons of pressed plastic and over 100 kilograms of shredded plastic daily, turning discarded bottles into raw materials while providing jobs and fighting urban pollution. A weathered teddy bear tied atop a hydraulic press adds a human touch to the gritty backdrop of grassroots recycling.
