Recyclekaro has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), India's foremost nuclear research institution.
The collaboration aims to utilize/leverage BARC's advanced technology for the extraction of high-purity copper oxide nanoparticles from depopulated printed circuit boards (PCBs).

The produced copper oxide nanoparticles hold immense potential as a catalyst for various industrial processes, antibacterial coatings for medical and electronic devices and sensors, as well as conductive inks and water purification. Beyond the evident environmental advantages, this strategic move is poised to create a positive socio-economic impact by generating employment opportunities throughout the PCB recycling process, from collection and transportation to processing and manufacturing of recycled materials.
Notably, the recovery of precious metals from PCBs not only proves economically viable but aligns with circular economy principles, providing essential raw materials for manufacturing. In light of stringent regulations governing electronic waste disposal in India, this collaborative effort underscores Recyclekaro’s unwavering commitment to sustainability.
Speaking on the association, Rajesh Gupta, Founder & Director, Recyclekaro, said, "At Recyclekaro, we are committed to exploring innovative methods within the recycling industry. This MOU represents a significant step in advancing our technological capabilities. Our ongoing research and development efforts are driving progress in sustainable technologies and waste management practices, underscoring our commitment to environmental responsibility and our contribution to a more sustainable future."
