Records and Reporting

Records

All disposal actions will be recorded in a digital file which contains all

details including considerations made. The e-waste manager is responsible for the archiving of these records. Reporting Each year, the E-waste manager will draw up a report in which at least the following aspects are highlighted:

Overview of all equipment disposed that year and details on how this

was done.

Overview of donated equipment returned for recycling
Overview of donated equipment to a third party which is still in use.

market

Will negotiate with a large organisations which has local representations
