About the bE-Responsible Initiative
Saahas in partnership with Environmental Synergies in Development (ENSYDE) both NGOs, is implementing the initiative on responsible e-waste collection and awareness within households and institutions in Bangalore. ENSYDE manages outreach and sensitization, while Saahas implements collection and logistics.
In the past year and a half we have reached out to over 800 institutions and Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in Bangalore to participate in this programme. We also have a tie up with a Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) authorised recycler to ensure that the e-waste collected is managed in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
The Impacts
We keep a close eye on the numbers generated by our on-ground implementation efforts and also the total e-waste collected.
Campaigns Conducted
Reached out to

Way Forward
In the long run, the objective of this initiative is to establish a collection network for non-bulk e-waste with sufficient aggregated volumes so that the recyclers take up regular collection on their own, making it self sustaining in the long run.
How Can I Help?
Join us and together we can definitely make responsible e-waste management possible.

Chirag -E-Hero & Volunteer
Chirag -E-Hero & Volunteer for our programme- I have seen many organisations that identify e-waste as a problem to solve. Despite trying to collect the e-waste or place bins, there was not much movement. The bE-Responsible campaign took an end-to-end approach of awareness, translating into a collection and then working with the authorised recyclers. This completes the circle. I am working with the campaign for the last 3 years and it has come a far away. It works :)
Nandhini
I am Nandhini from Adarsh Rhythm Apartment. While we were handling our wet waste, dry waste and sanitary waste efficiently, we were more than happy to tie up with bE-responsible for handling the e-waste segment. We are happy that we have a found a responsible partner in Saahas Ensyde in handling one of the most hazardous category of waste through the authorised recyclers. The pick-up is regular and the usage of battery operated vehicle is appreciated. Happy to be contributing positively to the earth.
Pravir Bagrodia
Pravir Bagrodia- Since my meeting with Ensyde team in which I was introduced to the Ensyde-Saahas bE-Responsible programme, I was able to organize an awareness session and a couple of e-waste collection drives at my workplace. In addition, I could get the support of Whitefield Rising citizens group to install collection bins at a few places, conduct collection drives in the area and organize awareness sessions in schools and residential complexes.
