At Ubytronics, we recognise that electronic waste (e-waste) — that is, any electrical or electronic product that has reached the end of its useful life — poses environmental and health risks if not managed responsibly. E-waste can include phones, chargers, cables, batteries, computer parts, and other accessories that contain materials such as metals, plastics, and hazardous substances.
We are committed to the safe, efficient, and responsible handling of e-waste in compliance with applicable Indian regulations, including the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules. We strive to minimise environmental impact, promote recycling and reuse, and protect public health.
This policy outlines how Ubytronics manages e-waste, our responsibilities, and how customers can participate in proper disposal and recycling. It applies to all products sold through our website and related services.
Electronic waste (e-waste) refers to electrical and electronic equipment that has been discarded because it is defective, obsolete, or no longer wanted. E-waste may contain valuable recoverable materials (such as copper, aluminum, gold, and plastics) as well as hazardous substances (like lead, mercury, and cadmium) that require careful handling.
1. Recycling and Collection
We encourage customers to return end-of-life electronics to our authorised collection points or recycling partners. These partners are approved to handle, sort, and recycle e-waste according to regulatory standards, ensuring materials are recovered and harmful components are disposed of safely.
2. Customer Responsibilities
We ask our customers to follow these guidelines:
✅ Always dispose of e-waste at authorised collection centres or designated drop-off points.
✅ Remove batteries and separate any detachable parts before recycling, where safe to do so.
❌ Do not dismantle electronic products yourself.
❌ Do not throw electronics in regular garbage bins.
❌ Do not give e-waste to informal or unregulated scrap dealers.
Responsible recycling helps:
🌱 Conserve natural resources — Valuable materials are recovered for reuse.
🌍 Reduce environmental pollution — Safe disposal prevents toxins from entering soil, water, and air.
⚡ Save energy — Recycling uses less energy than new material extraction.
Visit our authorised E-Waste Collection Centres (contact details will be provided soon).
Bring the end-of-life product or accessory to the nearest centre, or request pickup through our partner network.
Our recycling partners will sort, dismantle, and process the e-waste for material recovery and safe disposal.
Ubytronics will periodically review this policy and update it to remain aligned with evolving environmental standards and legal requirements.
