Global E-Waste Survey: Collaborating for Sustainable Solutions

The Global E-Waste Survey initiated by the United Nations University focuses on addressing the escalating challenges of electronic waste (e-waste) through collaborative efforts among various stakeholders, including governments, industry, and academia. With a growing e-waste generation projected to reach 58.9 million tons by 2015, the initiative aims to gather insights on policies, standards, and best practices for effective e-waste management. The survey seeks to facilitate knowledge sharing and foster the development of global standards to mitigate environmental impacts and promote sustainability in electronic products.

  7. Impacts of (W)EEE on Climate Change End-of-Life (WEEE) • Primary emissions (CFC containing) > GHG gases • Mitigate resource use (recycling society) • Only under proper recycling Use (EEE) • Energy consumption • Re-USE impacts linked to production prevention • Role of ICT in mitigating Climate Change > GHG gases Production (EEE) • Use of Natural resources (particularly precious & special metals) ITU Green Standards Week - Rome

  8. The role of e-waste worldwide • Global Estimates for 2015: 58,9 Mt/y • More than 600 Mt CO2 eq potential (under EU scenario) • Growing number of countries being covered by e-waste bills • Limited EEE covered (hardly C&F appliances, Lamps) • No specific targets on EEE categories (collection & treatment) • No specific requirements on: Pre-processing (e.g. ensuring efficient GHG gas removal) End-processing (e.g. ensuring proper recovery of precious & special metals) • Countries without any e-waste bill ITU Green Standards Week - Rome
