E-Waste Management
Responsible technology doesn't end when a product reaches the end of its useful life. Sirohi e-Store encourages responsible collection, recycling and disposal of electronic products to help protect our environment.
Sirohi e-Store, operated by Sirohiestore Internet Private Limited, is committed to promoting responsible management of electronic waste ("E-Waste").
Electronic products contain materials that can be recovered, reused or recycled, while certain components require responsible handling to minimise environmental impact.
This E-Waste Management Policy explains our approach to responsible disposal and provides customers with guidance on handling electronic products at the end of their useful life.
Responsible Disposal
Encouraging customers to dispose of electronic products through appropriate channels.
Reuse & Recycling
Supporting responsible recovery and recycling of electronic materials.
Safer Environment
Helping reduce improper disposal and potential environmental harm.
Customer Awareness
Providing customers with information for responsible end-of-life product management.
01 What Is E-Waste?
E-Waste refers to electrical and electronic equipment and components that have been discarded because they are no longer required, functional, repairable or useful.
Examples may include mobile phones, tablets, laptops, televisions, chargers, cables, batteries, computer accessories, electronic devices and other electrical or electronic equipment.
02 Products That May Become E-Waste
Depending on the product category, E-Waste may include items such as:
03 Responsible E-Waste Disposal
Customers should not dispose of electronic products through regular household waste where dedicated E-Waste collection or recycling options are available.
We encourage customers to use authorised collection, recycling, refurbishment or disposal channels as applicable to the product and location.
04 Responsible Recycling Journey
Responsible E-Waste management generally involves collection, segregation, safe handling, recovery and recycling through appropriate channels.
Collect
Separate unwanted electronic products from regular household waste.
Segregate
Keep electronics, batteries and accessories appropriately separated.
Recycle
Hand over eligible items to appropriate recycling channels.
Recover
Materials may be recovered and processed for responsible reuse or recycling.
05 Customer Responsibility
Customers are encouraged to:
- Dispose of electronic products responsibly.
- Avoid mixing E-Waste with ordinary household waste.
- Use authorised collection or recycling facilities wherever reasonably available.
- Follow applicable manufacturer instructions for disposal of batteries and electronic products.
- Remove personal information from devices before handing them over for recycling or disposal.
- Avoid dismantling electronic products unless qualified and legally permitted to do so.
06 Personal Data & Device Security
Before disposing of, recycling, exchanging or handing over an electronic device, customers should back up important information and remove personal data from the device.
Before Disposal
Back up photographs, contacts, documents and other important information.
Remove Personal Data
Sign out of accounts and perform an appropriate factory reset where applicable.
07 Batteries & Battery-Containing Products
Batteries require appropriate handling and should not be treated as ordinary household waste where dedicated battery collection or recycling facilities are available.
- Do not intentionally damage, puncture or crush batteries.
- Do not expose damaged batteries to heat or fire.
- Follow applicable manufacturer instructions for battery disposal.
- Use appropriate collection or recycling channels wherever available.
08 Reuse, Repair & Refurbishment
Wherever practical and appropriate, extending the useful life of electronic products through repair, maintenance, reuse or refurbishment can help reduce premature disposal.
Customers may consider authorised service centres, qualified repair providers or appropriate reuse channels before disposing of a functional device.
09 Disposal Practices to Avoid
Customers should avoid:
- Burning electronic waste.
- Dumping electronic products in open areas, drains, water bodies or other unsuitable locations.
- Mixing significant quantities of E-Waste with ordinary household waste.
- Improperly dismantling batteries or electronic components.
- Giving electronic waste to unauthorised handlers where authorised recycling options are available.

E-Waste management requirements may change from time to time. Applicable procedures may also differ based on product category, manufacturer, location and the nature of the electronic waste.
11 Collection & Take-Back
Where a manufacturer, brand partner, authorised recycler or applicable programme provides a collection or take-back facility, customers may use the applicable channel subject to its terms, eligibility and location availability.
