Workshop

Description: I have pursued my PhD in Electronic waste management and is a Gold medalist from the University of Delhi. In addition to this, I have presented my research work at national and international forums and have a number of published articles in books, journals and magazines to my credit. I also worked with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Govt. of India as a Programme Fellow in Smart Cities Mission.

I had applied for EWAS Scientists – 2022 edition Program (https://www.scycle.info/applications-are-now-open-for-the-ewas-2022/) two months back which is a prestigious and one of its kind of exclusive program for E-waste Scientists and Scholars.

I am happy to share that based on the quality and importance of my research work, I was been selected to attend the above Program on the theme Managing valuable and hazardous materials in e-waste: the route to circularity’ organised by United Nations Institute for Training and Research. The training was held from 27th August – 3rd September 2022.  The aim of the EWAS was to expose participants to diverse normative and positive perspectives about e-waste management and provide multiple teaching and learning methodologies. It also provided them with an opportunity to exchange knowledge and implement the same in their respective countries.

The topic is so close to my heart that I am doing all such efforts on my own to disseminate knowledge.

Public Campaign - Social media

Description: Votechnik will run a social media campaign on the recovery of rare materials contained in small electronic devices. The campaign will focus on Indium, a rare material found as indium tin oxide in most devices that have an LCD screen, small and big – mobile phones, tablets, ipads etc, and not only in large LCD TVs and flat panel computer monitors. Due to the scarcity of Indium and supply chain dependencies to the main producer (China), it is important that all LCD display devices, big and small, are recycled correctly, so that LCD panels do not end up in landfill, allowing for processes to be developed for Indium recovery.

Votechnik is not only providing state-of-the-art large LCD panel processing and depollution equipment, Votechnik is also working with an international consortium to develop such Indium recovery processes. To keep in touch about these issues and to follow the progress Votechnik is making towards Indium recovery and all matters of LCD TV recycling, please follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter and sign up to our newsletter at votechnik.com.
