Wipro has announced that it will be offering e-waste disposal services to their customers from September 1. This improves compliance with the RoHS and ISO 14000 standards.
On various measures taken within Wipro, Ashutosh Vaidya, vice-president, personal computing division, said, "Wipro has been actively working on the issue since August, 2005. We had set up an environment management team to lead Wipro's initiatives on this front. Over the last one year, we have defined the process, identified suitable disposal mechanisms, created service points across the country, identified technically competent disposal agencies and setup a process for disposal of e-waste."
On offering e-waste disposal service to customers Vaidya, said, "We are happy to announce that we will be offering the service of e-waste disposal to our customers starting September 1, 2006. These services can be availed by our customers free of cost by paying nominal freight charges. We are pioneers in launching this service in India, and this displays our commitment to the environment."
