Earth Sense Recycle

What Earth Sense Recycle does

Earth Sense Recycle Pvt. Ltd. is a Chennai-headquartered, PAN-India e-waste management company founded in 2008 as an initiative of GJ Multiclave (India) Pvt. Ltd., India's first bio-medical waste management firm. The company provides end-to-end electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) waste services — collection, reverse logistics, dismantling, segregation, resource recovery, certified data destruction, and disposal — to EEE manufacturers fulfilling Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations, large corporate enterprises disposing of end-of-life IT assets, healthcare facilities decommissioning medical devices, and solar energy companies managing end-of-life photovoltaic panels.

The company's core technology comprises in-house designed dismantling tables with HEPA filtration dust extraction, certified data wiping/degaussing/online defacing capabilities, precious metal recovery and refining processes (gold, silver, copper, palladium), and a documented reverse logistics system using compliant hazardous-waste transport documentation (Form-8, Form-11, Form-13). The flagship R2V3-certified recycling facility in Telangana, together with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, supports 65,000 metric tonnes of annual recycling capacity and a stated recovery rate above 98% (with less than 2% of non-recyclables routed to TSDF facilities). The company holds CPCB/SPCB authorizations, ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, and operates collection centers across 18+ Indian states.

Earth Sense generates revenue through three principal streams: fee-for-service e-waste collection and recycling (including IT asset management and data destruction with Asset Destruction Certificates), managed PRO/EPR services for EEE manufacturers, and subscription/recurring contractual e-waste management arrangements with corporate clients. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated single-point contracts, supported by a 24/7 toll-free helpline, on-site collection bins, CSR partnership programs, and corporate awareness campaigns. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based by volume and waste type. No external institutional or venture capital investment is evidenced in the source data.
