Delivering Sustainable Solutions
3R Services Portfolio - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
Triple bottom line is the current mantra for all businesses for achieving Sustainability. Sustainability encompasses the Reduce Reuse and Recycle principles that ensure we prolong the life of working assets, reduce damage to Environment by controlling emissions and recover materials efficiently that we use everyday using commercially viable technologies. Recycle is the last option at end of life. Use of new technologies to extract virgin materials from complex waste streams is a challenge. We prudently use the right combination of technologies for our activities. Recycling of materials involves heavy capital investments and at Epragathi we make the right kind of investments in plant & machinery. We always look for new avenues of creating viable business models for material recovery streams. Our portfolio of services include activities that are environmentally safe and sound. We comply with internationally recognized standards for reduction of emissions, reuse of assets by extending their life and recovering precious materials from waste streams.
Services
Waste management solutions
Waste management includes identification of waste stream, segregation, collection, transportation and storage of waste. We have PAN India operations and cater to all major manufacturers and bulk consumers and implement their waste management program as service provider of choice.

Recycling of Circuit Boards for precious metals extraction
Printed wired boards or printed circuit boards like motherboards are key components of electronic waste stream. We depopulate mounted components and shred shred the boards to recover copper and plastics. The depopulated ICs capacitors and other components are subjected to thermal and chemical processes for recovery of precious metals.
​
Lead acid batteries Recycling
Lead acid batteries constitute large stream of hazardous waste and we have a built capacity to process the same and recover secondary lead efficiently. We have taken care to ensure proper emission controls are in place to minimize air emissions.
​
Lithium Ion battery recycling to create black mass
Lithium ion battery packs are the most widely used energy source for laptops. We are one of the few authorized recyclers in this new market.
​
Aluminum, Iron and Plastic scrap recycling
Electronic waste consists of almost 50-80% of dismantled mixed scarp consisting of plastic, Iron and Aluminum. We downsize and shred these scrap materials into reusable plastic chips or metal pieces in other industry as raw materials.
​
Copper recovery from cables and copper scrap
Electrical and networking cables contain both aluminum and copper cables. We remove Copper and Aluminum by stripping the insulated plastic sheath using wire cutting machines.
​
Data Sanitization and Data Destruction services
We offer onsite and offsite data sanitization (logical and physical) services to our clients. These data services are customized according to client request and needs.

​
Refurbishment of IT assets
End of life of IT assets can be extended, provided proper technical assessment of hardware is carried out and few components repaired and replaced. Refurbishment means repairing of used electrical and electronic equipment for extending its working life for its originally intended use and selling the same in the market or returning to owner. In specific cases where end of life working IT assets are procured from Bulk Consumers for resale under valid contract, refurbishment of such assets are carried out at our inhouse Refurbishing center.
​
Circular Economy and sustainability awareness programs
As a responsible value added player in waste management supply chain, we create awareness through media, publications, advertisements, posters, or by
any other means of communication and product user documentation to consumers and bulk consumers, with regard to -
(i) information on address, e-mail address, toll-free telephone numbers or helpline
numbers and web site;
(ii) information on hazardous constituents in electrical and electronic equipment;
(iii) information on hazards of improper handling, disposal, accidental breakage,
damage or improper recycling of e-waste;
(iv) instructions for handling and disposal of the equipment after its use, along with
the Do’s and Don’ts
