Untapped knowledge in india's e-waste Industrya roadmap to strengthen the informal economy /[electronic resource] :by T. S. Krishnan. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xix, 103 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Palgrave advances in the economics of innovation and technology,2662-3870. - Palgrave advances in the economics of innovation and technology..

Chapter 1: Repositioning the "informal economy": The hidden potential for a new circular economy in India's electronic waste industry -- Chapter 2: "Business as Usual": Systemic barriers to achieving sustainability in India's e-waste processing industry -- Chapter 3: The power of markets: Economics of India's e-waste processing industry -- Chapter 4: Specialized social networks with deep expertise: The value of cultural capital in India's e-waste processing industry -- Chapter 5: Policy futures that leverage the strength of informal economy: Opportunities to advance circular economy and UN SDGs.

"Krishnan's study of e-waste, its informal recycling and circular reprocessing-and the new policy to formalise it-provides granular evidence of unintended policy effects and the paradoxical waste of the very human and material resources that the policy seeks to develop. A must-read for wastistas and for policy scholars and practitioners." -Barbara Harriss-White, University of Oxford "Krishnan's research makes a compelling case for designing e-waste policies in collaboration with informal processors by recognizing and valuing their system." -Martha Alter Chen, WIEGO, Harvard University This book focuses on the economic, political, and cultural factors that make up India's "informal processors," which are the highly networked, multi-generational systems that reuse, repurpose, and otherwise dispose of 80% of India's electronic waste. The research includes insight from more than ninety interviews with forty-nine key stakeholders working within India's e-waste processing industry. Throughout the book, T S Krishnan explores the complexities of the e-waste industry and comprehensively explains the importance of developing context-specific solutions that leverage the inherent strengths of informal processors. The resulting resource offers a counterpoint to mainstream arguments that dismiss the value of expertise from informal processors. T S Krishnan is an independent scholar with expertise working across disciplines such as supply chain management, ethnography, and sustainability. He has served as a visiting faculty member at the Indian Institute of Management Nagpur and Ashoka University. Krishnan has worked in industries including sales enablement, data science, artificial intelligence, and product management. He received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.
