Case Study India
The case study India was launched in September 2003. Local partner organizations have thus far been gathering data on recycling processes applied in New Delhi. The case study will be finished by mid-2004.
A simplified model was developed in order to describe the complex cross linking of causalities in the recycling system and its interaction with humans and the environment. A look at the following three-shell model should make the situation more easily comprehensible.
Humans and the environment are at the center of the model. The e-waste recycling system has direct and indirect impacts on labor, health and the environment
The recycling system is described through systemic and technological elements. The material and financial flows along the whole product life cycle are presented qualitatively. Detailed process analyses are shown for the relevant processing technologies.
The recycling system is surrounded by a general framework. The prevailing economic situation, politics, legislation and its enforcement, science and technology, and cultural aspects influence the interactions within the system. This framework is again affected by changes in labor, health and environmental impacts. There is feedback from the center to the framework.

todays condition of india
as shown by gyandarshan channel,in INDIA e waste comes from uropian countries,they send it via singapure&dubai in INDIA .HERE it goes in delhi&banglorewe are not using proper methods to recycle it we are also using child labour for it.this should change.
India Mill: History
When the grandiose vision of India Mill first formed in the mind of Eccles Shorrock, he could have had no idea that world events were conspiring to frustrate his ambitions.
It has been described as the most important textile building in North East Lancashire and was constructed during the period 1859 to 1871. The actual building was completed by the mid 1860s, but all the machinery was not installed until 1871.
Civil war in America was Eccles Shorrock's downfall. A blockade of the Southern states meant no cotton coming out, which meant no work in Lancashire, which meant famine.
Eccles Shorrock was punished for his grand ambitions, he went bankrupt and died of ill health in Edinburgh. India Mills continued as the Darwen Cotton Spinning Company Ltd. until 1933 when it became India Mills (Darwen Ltd.). In 1954 William Baird acquired the company and in 1974 Carrington Viyella took it over. The mill closed in 1991.

That's actually a very interesting story. It's a shame it lasted all that time but couldn't hold things together any longer. It's like losing a piece of history.
