Actual users of metal recycler authorized by GPCB

The list of authorized metal recycler under the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, updated as of June 2023, is a critical resource for businesses and industries engaged in the disposal of metal waste in accordance with the regulations set forth by the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB).

Importance of Registered and Approved Recycling Agencies

Under these regulations, the disposal of metal waste requires obtaining consent from the State Pollution Control Board, emphasizing the responsible management of hazardous materials. Recycling is the recommended method for handling metal waste due to its potential environmental benefits. However, it is imperative that the selected recycling agency is both registered and approved by the regulatory authority. The regularly updated list of authorized waste recyclers serves as a vital tool to ensure compliance with these rules.

During the process of disposing of hazardous waste, it is crucial to thoroughly verify the documents provided by the recycling agency. This step ensures that the chosen agency is qualified and authorized to manage the specific type of waste involved. It’s essential to recognize that not all registered recycling agencies are approved to handle all categories of waste. For instance, an e-waste recycling agency may not be authorized to manage used oil disposal, highlighting the importance of careful selection.

The Role of the GPCB’s Authorized Drum Recycler

In summary, the list of authorized metal recyclers, maintained by the GPCB, plays a pivotal role in promoting environmentally responsible waste management practices and ensuring adherence to waste disposal regulations. Complying with these regulations, conducting due diligence when verifying recycling agency documents, and referring to the approved list when selecting a recycling partner collectively contribute to the safe and sustainable management of hazardous waste, mitigating potential environmental and health risks.
