E waste Management:

Control Print complies with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016. As part of Extended Producers’ Responsibility, Control Print will set up a collection mechanism to channelize and dispose E-Waste.

As a Producer, Control Print collects all kinds of E-Waste that have become unwanted, non-working or obsolete and have essentially reached the end of their useful lifetime, by offering the exchange policy to customers.

As per E-Waste Rule 2016, the E-Waste defined as ‘Electrical and Electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the Customer or Bulk Customer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair processes.

E-Waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminium, copper, gold, silver, particular grade of plastics, and ferrous metals. In order to conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment can be refurbished, reused, and recycled instead of being landfilled before its lifecycle reached.

E-waste may contains toxic and hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, beryllium, Chromium, and chemical flame retardants, which have the potential to leach into our soil and water.

What does this mean for our customers?

Our equipment’ end users will be able to return their obsolete Electrical and Electronic products to Control Print, in accordance with our producer responsibility policy. As a customer they can also choose to bring their old electronic equipment through Control Print Customer Take back Services at Certain reasonable cost mutually agreed by both parties.
