Earth Day is celebrated worldwide to promote environmental awareness among young people. The theme for this year’s celebration is ‘Invest In Our Planet’. While matters like global warming, pollution, and waste generation have been discussed for over a decade, the current heatwave in the city and the country are evidence of an impending climate crisis in the future. It is time for people across the country to choose sustainable alternatives, proper waste management solutions, and take small steps together.

“We have organized this panel discussion with some of Kolkata’s most prestigious educational institutions to discuss the role of these institutions in spearheading climate action programs and initiatives to encourage students to become environmentally conscious citizens. The youth are the future of our country and our planet. Therefore, it is essential to make our younger generation aware of sustainable practices and climate action. We extend our sincere thanks to all the panelists for joining us today,” said Mr Nandan Mall, Founder and Managing Director of Hulladek Recycling Pvt Ltd.

India is the fifth-largest producer of e-waste globally, and over 80% of the e-waste in India is managed by the informal sector. As a result, the scope of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) & Producer Responsibility Organizations (PRO) is expected to increase in the coming days.
