ITU-T Recommendations

Supplement 4 to the L series of Recommendations provides a set of guidelines that countries can refer to when designing or adjusting their e-waste management systems. It provides guidance on policy/legal framework, collection mechanisms, financial mechanisms and engagement with all relevant stakeholders.
It has been developed in response to WTSA Resolution 79 (Dubai, 2012), which instructs ITU-T Study Group 5 to develop guidelines for developing an adequate e-waste management system for telecommunications and ICT equipment as well as to respond to Plenipotentiary Resolutions 182 and 200 (Busan, 2014).
Edition 2 introduces minor editorial updates to the Supplement.
