The company’s ambitions are aimed to be the largest and the leading metal refining & recycling company in India. In India, Attero has taken up the challenge of developing an alternate source of metals. After working on the process for more than two years, Attero has developed India’s ‘first technology for extracting metals from e waste,’ the company claims.

Attero announced its plan to raise Series B funding for expansion & technical enhancement of the metal refining unit and setting up of a comprehensive collection system. After successfully commissioning the metal extraction unit at Roorkee, Attero plans to expand the existing capacity so as to process most of the mixed metal E waste existing in India. Attero is also working on extending its existing technology so as to recycle other metal bearing hazardous waste which we have not been able to process in India. This system will help channelize e waste to authorized recyclers.

Present at the plant inauguration, Attero CEO Nitin Gupta said: ’The problem of e-waste is growing at an alarming rate and it is time to now stop talking and start acting. At Attero Recycling, we are conscious of our responsibility not just to ourselves but to the environment at large. While as an environmentally responsible recycler, we aim to reduce e-waste burden on society, protect environment, reduce contamination and generate awareness about the growing e-waste menace, we are also conscious of our responsibility towards the citizens of our country.’

E-waste disposal in India has been a steadily growing concern among environmentally and socially conscious groups. E-Waste in India makes its way to the unsafe and unauthorized dumping yards where they are dismantled manually and unscientifically posing grave health and environment risks.
