About bE-Responsible
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.

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- 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.

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.

bE-Responsible initiative is addressing a critical gap in waste management, i.e. collection and disposal of non-bulk e-waste. Increased consumerism in addition to higher rate of obsolescence makes it imperative to make people aware and provide suitable options for responsible disposal. Consumer responsibility is key to reducing the problem of waste in our country.

Bengaluru is the 3rd largest e-waste generator in the country (92,000 MT/y in 2017), and it is only appropriate that our program is focused on this city. Currently addressing select wards in Bengaluru, the bE-Responsible initiative aims to cover the whole city in a few years. A first-of-its-kind, our e-waste drop boxes provide easy disposal options to every individual. With the current participation of Resident Welfare Association (RWAs), community groups, civic society, clubs, schools, colleges, corporate volunteers, etc., and proposed collaboration with Bengaluru Bruhat Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) and KSPCB, we hope to enhance and sustain the initiative.
