Metal Recycling

Hinduja Group flagship company Ashok Leyland on Monday said it has partnered with vehicle recycling firm Rosmerta Recycling for scrapping of old commercial vehicles in the country. Through its nationwide dealer network, Ashok Leyland said, it will facilitate seamless access to Rosmerta Recycling's authorised scrappage facilities, offering customers a convenient, end-to-end scrapping of the vehicle, including support with deregistration and other statutory documentation. Gurugram-based Rosmerta Recycling operates Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs) across India, facilitating safe, compliant and environmentally responsible dismantling of end-of-life vehicles while maximising material recovery and advancing the circular economy, Ashok Leyland said. The move is in line with the central government's voluntary vehicle modernisation programme, which encourages the replacement of older, polluting vehicles with cleaner and more efficient alternatives, the company said.

Goods and Service Tax, import duty and absence of other initiatives for a circular economy are hindering metal recycling, industry body officials said on Wednesday. With more headwinds expected from scrap-exporting countries in near future, the country needs to remove ambiguity to showcase India's commitment to a circular economy, aiming at reducing emissions, they said. "There is a wrong message going out to the world that India is not committed to the use of scrap by imposing a duty of 2.5 per cent. Europe, a major exporter of scrap, is now drawing rules and regulations that will make it difficult to import unless India takes proactive steps," said senior vice-president of Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI), Dhawal Shah. He made these remarks on the sidelines of the 11th International Material Recycling Conference.
