  • "We will soon set up an integrated e-waste facility within six months in Mumbai and Pune. We have sought expression of interest from the concerned parties to set up the units. We have also made some changes in the river regulation zone policy, which sets distance criteria for setting industries near the river bank," Nair Singh said.
  • Appealing to NGOs and citizens for ensuring that non-formal de-assembling units of electronic items do not come up, Nair Singh said that the e-waste must go to authorised recycler.
  • "It is a shock for our state that only 17 per cent sewage in the entire state is being treated. Only 24 per cent municipal solid waste is treated, that too partially. All other waste is either dumped or burnt which is damaging the general health. Mumbai and Pune together constitute 40 per cent of the country's e-waste," Nair Singh said.

    CEH report, Oct. 2006. In the past few years, the storm of complaints about UNICOR's recycling program from prisoners, prison guards, and others has brought these hidden sweatshops into public view. Since 1994, UNICOR has built a lucrative business that employs prisoners to recycle electronic waste (e-waste). A massive array of ewaste is largely hidden from view, as are the workers who handle the waste. Over 100,000 computers become obsolete in the U.S. every day. E-waste includes computers, personal digital assistants, TVs, and other electronic devices. E-waste is a doubleedged sword: it is rich in precious materials that can be recycled, but it also contains a cocktail of hazardous chemicals such as lead, mercury, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and cadmium. This report examines the e-waste recycling programs run by Federal Prison Industries (FPI), a government-owned corporation that does business under the trade name UNICOR.
