Kanpur Ploggers Launches Project Hulladek: Kanpur’s First E-Waste Recycling Initiative

At Kanpur Ploggers, we believe in creating impactful changes that benefit our environment and our community. Today, we are proud to announce Project Hulladek, Kanpur’s first-ever *e-waste recycling initiative. This landmark project is a step towards sustainable waste management, honoring the invaluable efforts of *Hulladek Recycling, our esteemed partner in this mission. Together, we aim to revolutionize the way e-waste is managed in Kanpur.

## Why E-Waste Recycling Matters

E-waste, or electronic waste, is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. Old gadgets, broken electronics, and unused devices often find their way into landfills, causing immense harm to the environment. Toxic materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium seep into the soil and water, posing severe health risks.

In India, where technology use is on the rise, effective e-waste management is not just a need; it’s an urgent call to action. Kanpur Ploggers, with the support of Hulladek Recycling, is determined to answer this call.

## Project Hulladek: A Greener Future for Kanpur

Project Hulladek empowers Kanpur residents to responsibly dispose of their electronic waste while contributing to a cleaner, greener city. With this initiative, we’re making e-waste recycling simple, accessible, and impactful for everyone.

Our aim is to:
