Most of the e-waste in India is recycled in informal workshops that perform operations such as precious metals recovery and the extraction of repairable parts in whatever ways are quickest and easiest, regardless of environmental considerations. Backyard family workshops in particular often use primitive recycling methods with high health risks (Toxic Link, 2014; Sinha-Khetriwal et al., 2005; Streicher-Porte et al., 2005), and these e-waste recycling practices are carried out all over India (Toxic Link, 2014; Sepulveda et al., 2010; Sinha- Khetriwal et al., 2005).
