Built to be audited.

Not yet. CPCB EPR Authorisation is “In preparation” — filing follows MPCB Consent to Establish, which is “In process”. The Authorisation is the regulatory pre-condition for accepting EPR fulfilment work under the E-Waste Rules 2022; TerraKai will not sign EPR commitments before it is granted. Status updates land on this page as each authority clears.

Named to the brand owner at engagement, not on the public site. Selection criteria are documented: licensed precious-metal refineries with verified environmental compliance, India-domiciled where feasible, with documented mass-balance reporting. The refiner appears on consignment paperwork before any material moves; the brand owner can audit refiner credentials before signing.

R2v3 is in our cert pipeline. The standard sets the audit-defensible benchmark for downstream chain, data security, and environmental practice for global IT brand owners. TerraKai is being designed against R2v3 process discipline from the foundation — not retrofitted later. The certification process begins post-commissioning under SERI’s evaluator framework. No timeline commitment is made before that work starts.

Every consignment produces a disposal certificate naming lot ID, weight by waste category, processing date, downstream destination, and named refiner. Per-asset ITAD also generates asset-level records: serial number, intake date, destruction method and date, witness signature. All exportable to your asset register and audit file. Format is shared on first engagement before any material moves.

The Hong Kong International Convention governs ship recycling, not e-waste. The Salasar Balaji yard at Alang has been HKC-compliant since 2015 — what transfers to TerraKai is the operating discipline: documented downstream chain, lot-by-lot record-keeping, third-party verification, gap disclosure. The discipline is what the parent yard earned audited; the e-waste facility is being built to the same standard.

Pre-commissioning the answer is no — the facility opens Q1 2027. Documentation and engagement work can begin now: scope, certificate format, chain-of-custody design, downstream refiner audit, EPR partnership framework. First consignments are accepted after MPCB Consent to Operate is granted post-commissioning. Direct contact: hello@terrakairecycling.com.

None yet. Entity incorporation is the foundation; the cert ladder follows. MPCB Consent to Establish, then Hazardous Waste Authorisation, then CPCB EPR Authorisation — these are the operating-licence pre-conditions. R2v3 and NAID AAA are under evaluation in TerraKai’s own cert pipeline. The parent’s ClassNK/RINA/HKC/ISO stack is heritage credential, not TerraKai credential — distinction kept deliberate.

The Salasar Balaji parent is a member of MRAI (Material Recycling Association of India) and BME (Bombay Metal Exchange — Mumbai industry body for metal trading and recycling). TerraKai memberships will be added as the entity formalises post-incorporation. Membership is treated as an industry-citizenship signal, not a credential — distinction matters.
