About Indelox’s E-waste Initiative
Indelox believes that doing business responsibly means taking ownership beyond the point of sale or SCM. As an importer and distributor of electronic goods, we recognise our role in India’s growing e-waste challenge and have built a structured, compliant programme to address it.
Electronic devices contain hazardous substances that can cause serious environmental and health damage when improperly discarded. Indelox embraces sustainability as a core business responsibility, taking active steps to conserve natural resources and minimise environmental impact. At Indelox, we have established the facilities, partnerships, and processes to ensure that every product we bring to market is managed safely at its end of life.
Environment and Social Responsibility (ESG)
Indelox is committed to conducting business in a way that protects the environment and contributes positively to society. This is not a compliance exercise. It is a fundamental part of how we operate.
We encourage a culture where employees actively look for ways to reduce energy and resource consumption. We formulate policies guided by sustainability and ethical practice. And we pursue business activities that do not pose direct threats to the environment or the communities we serve.
While business growth and profitability remain important, we ensure that our operations do not adversely impact the environment or society. At Indelox, profit and purpose are not in conflict, our long-term business success depends on both.
About E-Waste
E-waste refers to discarded electrical and electronic equipment, including products rejected during manufacturing or repair, that are intended for disposal. Computers, laptops, mobile phones, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and similar devices all fall within this category.
E-waste typically contains hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium, chromium, brominated flame retardants, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). When disposed of through informal channels or landfills, these substances leach into soil and water, pollute the air through open burning, and accumulate in the food chain.
Children are particularly vulnerable, as their higher relative intake of air, water, and food increases exposure levels. Prolonged contact with e-waste toxins can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous, immune, reproductive, and digestive systems.
India’s E-Waste (Management) Rules 2016 were introduced to redirect this waste toward certified, environmentally sound recycling. Indelox is fully compliant with these rules. As an importer of electronic goods, Indelox facilitates responsible disposal by enabling e-waste collection and ensuring its safe transfer to authorised recyclers. We also actively promote awareness to encourage responsible disposal practices among stakeholders.
Extended Producer Responsibility
Under the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2016, producers of electrical and electronic equipment are legally responsible for managing their products at the end of life. This framework is known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
As a responsible producer, Indelox fulfils its EPR obligations by:
Collecting and channelling e-waste generated during repair activities and at end of life. Raising awareness among consumers and clients on proper e-waste disposal. Maintaining all required authorisations from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Keeping meticulous records and submitting annual returns for full transparency and accountability.
Through these measures, we ensure that our responsibility extends beyond delivery to safe and sustainable disposal.
