IIT Madras is developing an online portal called ‘eSource’, which will serve as an online marketplace for e-waste. The portal will link various stakeholders in the formal and informal sectors (buyers and sellers). E-source will be an exchange platform for waste electrical and electronic equipment. The researchers who are working on the portal are aiming for a ‘circular economy’ and to address the gaps in the e-waste sector which is a pressing issue in India.

IIT Madras will develop an E-commerce platform to manage E- waste, and keep the formal and informal sector connected through it. Named E-source, this platform will create a demand and supply chain between buyers and sellers of electronic products. The initiative has been taken by the Indo-German Sustainability Centre (IGSC).
The Bhubaneshwar Municipal Corporation (BMC) is going one step further in its e-waste management infrastructure. The already-in-place doorstep e-waste collection service is being extended to 57 more wards of the city.
