We at Attero believe awareness and collection is the first step towards managing e-waste and hence we have launched this programme. It is good to see corporates like Godrej embracing their responsibility toward the environment for a greener and better tomorrow. We hope more and more corporates realize this and come forth and do their bit for the society."
