Forbes India | Arvind Bhardwaj & Anupam Kumar: Make mining count
Good things are not cheap. Take electric vehicles (EV) for example. The largest cost component of an EV is its lithium-ion battery. India has little or no reserves of lithium ore and is entirely dependent on imports. Nickel and cobalt, the two other lithium-ion battery components of which India has adequate reserves, are, however, expensive […]
The Why and How of safe E-waste recycling
Electronic waste, or e-waste, results from the disposal of electronic and electrical devices that are no longer functional or have surpassed their intended lifespan. The accelerated pace of technological advancements and the constant release of new electronic models contribute to a surge in e-waste production. Common items include computers, monitors, printers, mobile phones, and household […]
