Developing Industries for Recycling

• Infrastructure should be developed to suit the geography of

the country/region

• Size of Market/IT penetration
• Life cycle of products
• Return rate
• All Electronic waste streams should be considered
• All volumes collected should count
• End of life product return – Free and Convenient
• Legislation for IT product recycling should focus on

consumers

• Volumes needed
• Sources of volumes
• Changing the informal practices

Developing Industries for recycling

• Market should facilitate multiple collection programmes

– Legislation should encourage producers to establish and maintain own take back programs alongside national collective schemes

• Retailers cannot sell products that do not include an

identifiable brand label of a Producer

– Producers of IT and CE devices must be required to include a label on their products sufficient to identify the brand.

• Producers and Governments should provide information for

consumers.

• Fees should not be applied to finance the creation of

unnecessary and inefficient infrastructure. Actual costs should be internalized by producers enabling the continual review of the eco-design of the products.

• Government Enforcement

Challenges & Barriers

• Legislation should establish verifiable standards for

electronics recyclers – continuous improvement

• The economic dependence on the informal sector
• Sales penetration rate and Life cycles
• Sufficient Volumes for Recycling
• Attracting recyclers
