While smartphone brands shoot away one launch after the other, the rate of smartphone usage is growing in India. Consequently, e-waste is on the rise as well.

How Is E-Waste Becoming an Area Of Concern?

As the population of India seems to boom rapidly, the usage of electronic waste shoots up at an unexpectedly faster rate. This has led to improper disposal of electronic waste in general dump yards. Most of the time, the chemicals like mercury, lithium, etc., from e-waste leach into the human body through soil and air, causing multiple health issues like nervous disorders, brain, kidney, and heart diseases, to name a few. Additionally, the impact on the environment is concerning, too.

However, the large amount of e-waste generated can be tackled skillfully through recycling and reusing the product. This is where Cashify enters the picture in the Indian scenario, where it has revolutionised the way in which waste management is done.
